That one win you ask? Well it of course came at the Hoyas favorite home-away-from-home at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Georgetown came away with an 84-76 victory at Butler on 1\/2\/2019 and it remains the last time the Hoyas were above .500 in the league, starting 1-0. A loss tonight could quickly turn into 0-3 in the league with two ranked teams &#8211; at Marquette and home to Creighton &#8211; coming up next. <\/p>\n<p id=\"2Ax0q4\"><strong>A Few Words:<\/strong> Georgetown is coming off a massive &#8211; for them &#8211; win at Notre Dame and they did so without leading scorer Jayden Epps (illness). For his role in Epps absence, Rowan Brumbaugh earned Big East Freshman of the Week Honors on Monday. If the award didn\u2019t go to Brumbaugh, classmate Drew Fielder could have laid a decent claim to the award himself. As far as the big question on the availability of Epps, there hasn\u2019t been official word from Georgetown as to his whereabouts which seems like bad news for those hoping to see him magically appear at Hinkle. <\/p>\n<div id=\"yfmNoA\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">         Opener at Hinkle \u203c\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DawgsOnly?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DawgsOnly<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/g2mCU9f7hD\">pic.twitter.com\/g2mCU9f7hD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Butler Basketball (@ButlerMBB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ButlerMBB\/status\/1737110890158379130?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 19, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"bmonTo\"><strong>On the Bulldogs:<\/strong> Butler coach Thad Matta came back to the sidelines last season after a five-year hiatus and suffered the first losing record of his career. It doesn\u2019t seem as though Matta will make that a habit as he has taken a new roster -the top five scorers are new to the program &#8211; and started out 9-2. Michigan State transfer Pierre Brooks is looking like all he needed was more playing time to prove his high ranking coming out of high school. St. John\u2019s transfer Posh Alexander has fit right in while staying in the league. BTW, Alexander is 4-1 against Georgetown, scoring in double figures in all five meetings. Butler already has three wins against major conference teams and one of their losses &#8211; a 91-86 defeat to Florida Atlantic in Florida &#8211; was one of the more entertaining games during the Holiday tournaments. Butler has a Top 50 offense thanks to being one of the better shooting teams in the country from 2pt range and from the free throw line. <\/p>\n<p id=\"6MruxB\"><strong>Injury Updates:<\/strong> Ok so it\u2019s not the gameday news we are all looking for but, Butler, like many college teams, provides pro like updates with regards to injuries. Rotation player Connor Turnball &#8211; 11 minutes per game &#8211; is out tonight. <\/p>\n<div id=\"lQXuFy\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sophomore forward Connor Turnbull sustained a left elbow injury over the weekend.
