Georgetown snaps 29-game Big East losing streak with win over DePaul

New York Times  

Georgetown snapped a 29-game Big East losing streak with an 81-76 win over DePaul on Tuesday. Backstory Georgetown broke DePaul’s record for 24 consecutive losses in Big East conference play on Jan. 4 when they lost to Villanova, marking their 25th straight loss in the conference. And so when you are at the lowest point in your modern basketball history, in the midst of a 29-game Big East losing streak, and when you do finally break it, in what is otherwise a moment of relief and even joy for players, coaches, and fans, everyone is just going to make fun of you even more. And so it was during and after Tuesday night’s win over DePaul: a deluge of Twitter irony and digital Bronx cheers that put the spotlight on the Hoyas in a way that almost felt worse than if they had just quietly lost another conference game.
