College basketball highlights: Providence tops Georgetown on FOX
Men's college basketball took center stage Sunday on FOX, with No. 20 Providence hitting the road to take down Georgetown by double digits, 88-68, in Washington, D.C.
The Friars (21-8, 13-5 Big East) were able to bounce back after a double-digit loss to No. 18 UConn on the road last week.
On the other side, the Hoyas (7-23, 2-17 Big East) have now lost nine of their last 11 games.
Georgetown has yet to beat a ranked opponent this season, with the closest game being a six-point loss to then-No. 24 UConn earlier this month.
Here are the top moments!
