STORIFY: Hoyas handle Bruins in NCAA’s

The No. 3 seed Georgetown Hoyas took control of the game early, despite two early Belmont leads. Solid Georgetown defense and a 10-3 Hoya run put the Bruins in a hole they never climbed out from.

That comeback never happened for the Bruins, who were outscored 38-32 in the second half. Georgetown made 61 percent of their baskets during the game, including 41 percent of their 3-pointers. Belmont made 39 and 37 percent of their respective shots during the game.

I guess we need Ryan Gosling on the team if we want to Drive the ball in. #itsbruintime

Despite 17 points from Blake Jenkins and 12 points from Ian Clark, the Bruins’ deficit never got smaller than nine points in the final minutes. The Hoyas went on a late 12-5 run, giving them an eventual 74-59 win and a trip to the Round of 32 Sunday.

Seeing those shots of Blake and Ian makes me want to cry. So proud of them! #belmonttilidie
