WASHINGTON (AP) — Georgetown basketball coach Patrick Ewing’s loss-filled stint at his alma mater has been called a “challenging and frustrating time” by athletic director Lee Reed. Reed added in a statement emailed to The Associated Press on Wednesday that he thinks “no one is more committed” to turning things around than the former star center. The statement came hours before the Hoyas set a Big East record by accumulating their 25th consecutive regular-season conference loss, 73-57 against visiting Villanova. The defeat Wednesday night left Georgetown with a 5-11 overall record, 0-5 in conference play.
