Miami Beat Georgetown Like They Were Late for Their Flight Home

The Miami Hurricanes didn’t just beat Georgetown. They walked into Disney World, grabbed Mickey by the ears, and proceeded to baptize the Hoyas 78–65 inside the Terry’s Chocolate ESPN Events Invitational. And the craziest part? The game was basically over seven minutes in.

Miami came out flaming like they were trying to qualify for the Olympic Track & Field team. A 16–3 run to start the game. Georgetown made one basket, wiped their forehead, looked up — and then missed the next 15 straight shots. FIFTEEN. As in, the Hoyas spent nine full minutes hooping like the rim had a restraining order.

Meanwhile, Miami was hooping like the loss to BYU the night before personally offended their ancestors. Malik Reneau looked at Georgetown and said, “I am HIM today and welcome to this a** whooping” Reneau who’s looked like a complete monster this year dropped 19 points in the first half alone, finished with 23, and hit a 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer that felt like a cinematic jump scare.

At one point in the first half, Georgetown cut the lead to six (18–12), and Miami said, “Bet,” and responded with a 23–8 slap in the face to take a 41–20 halftime lead. That’s not basketball. That’s a public lecture.

Eighteen. Point. Five. That’s the first half percentage Georgetown shot….yikes.

I’ve seen toddlers with Fisher-Price hoops shoot better odds than that.

Miami, on the other hand, shot 58.8 percent from the field and 60 percent from three, which is basically what happens when a team collectively decides, “We’re not losing twice in Florida in a 24-hour span. That’s poverty behavior.”

Miami Put the Invitational in a Chokehold

And shoutout to the defense — because Miami’s perimeter pressure had Georgetown dribbling like they borrowed someone else’s hands. The Canes forced hesitation, bad angles, panic passes, and a level of shot selection that should come with a fine.

Tru Washington? Automatic. Smooth. Confident. He looked like a guy who woke up in the hotel, saw he had ESPN cameras today, and said, “Time to give them something to clip.” He dropped 17 points, snagged six rebounds, and generally acted like the Hoyas personally owed him money.

Tre Donaldson? This boy was out there quarterbacking like Tua, minus the concussions. 13 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, and one extremely disrespectful pull-up late in the game that basically told Georgetown, “No comeback for you. Pack it up.”

Ernest Udeh Jr. did more than his part grabbing 11 rebounds, because why not?

Miami’s lead ballooned to 24 points in the second half and started getting real disrespectful. Like do you have to be to hit 10 straight shots in a D1 college basketball game?

That’s the equivalent of a “try me again” meme in real life.

the Hoyas Need a Wellness Check

Now, Georgetown did try to pull a Disney miracle late but Miami shut that down instantly. Tre Donaldson cooked them with a cold-blooded pull-up, Tru hit his free throws, and Georgetown was escorted out of the building like a drunk uncle at a quinceañera.

Final score: 78–65.

Final vibe: Miami said WE ARE NOT LOSING BACK-TO-BACK.

This is what good teams do. They respond. They adjust. They punch back.

Miami is now 6–2, and more importantly:

They’re looking like a team that’s about to get real scary when the ACC schedule hits.
