Jan 28, 2026; Washington, District of Columbia, USA; Georgetown Hoyas guard Malik Mack (2) looks to pass as DePaul Blue Demons guard RJ Smith (5) defends during the second half at Capital One Arena. Mandatory Credit: Brad Mills-Imagn Images Malik Mack delivered 16 points and seven assists to lead a balanced attack for Georgetown in a 70-61 Big East victory over DePaul on Wednesday in Washington, D.C.
Vincent Iwuchukwu and Julius Halaifonua contributed 11 points each, making a combined 9 of 10 shots from the floor as the Hoyas (11-10, 3-7) won their second in a row on the heels of six straight losses.
Caleb Williams added 10 points and Kayvaun Mulready scored all eight of his points in the second half as Georgetown avenged a loss three weeks ago at DePaul.
The Hoyas also ended their frustrating four-game skid against the Blue Demons in which none of the losses were by more than six points.
Brandon Maclin scored a season-high 19 points off the bench, including 16 in the second half, to pace DePaul (12-9, 4-6), which has followed each of its last three wins with a loss.
Layden Blocker and RJ Smith added 13 points each for the Blue Demons.
Georgetown never trailed in the first half behind a smoothly functioning offense which converted on 57.7% of its shots and committed just three turnovers.
It was a vastly different period from when the teams last met. In the second half of the Hoyas 56-50 loss on Jan. 6, they made just 1 of 23 shots in a dismal 56-50 defeat.
In the first 7 minutes, six different Georgetown players scored from the floor as the Hoyas raced to a 14-7 advantage on Wednesday.
DePaul forged its only tie of the first half, 16-16, when Maclin scored a driving layup to complete a 9-2 run with 7:53 left before the half.
Georgetown closed the half the way it started it as six different players scored field goals in a span of 7 minutes as the Hoyas rolled to a 34-24 lead at the break.
DePaul scored the first eight points of the second half as Blocker and Smith drained 3-pointers and the Blue Demons whittled the deficit to 34-32. But that’s as close as they would come.
Georgetown resumed control as Williams and Mulready made 3-pointers as the Hoyas pushed their lead back into double digits at 46-36.
In the final 5 minutes, Mulready made a backcourt steal and a slam and added a 3-pointer as the Hoyas held off a late Blue Demons surge.

Orioles' Jackson Holliday (hand) likely out weeks after Opening Day
Sep 27, 2025; Bronx, New York, USA; Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (7) at Yankee Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday will miss Opening Day due to a broken hamate bone in his right hand, general manager Mike Elias announced on Wednesday morning.
Holliday, who sustained the injury during live batting practice last Friday, will undergo a procedure to address the issue on Thursday. His timeline for recovery likely will be measured in weeks, per Elias.
Holliday, 22, batted just .242 with 17 homers and 55 RBIs in 149 games last season.
He is the top overall pick of the 2022 MLB June Amateur Draft and the son of seven-time All-Star Matt Holliday.
New acquisition Blaze Alexander likely will take the younger Holliday’s place in the field.
Also on Wednesday, Elias announced third baseman Jordan Westburg is nursing a right oblique injury. The injury, however, is not expected to prevent Westburg from playing at the start of the regular season.

Report: Giants hire Brian Callahan as QBs coach
Tennessee Titans coach Brian Callahan exits the field after the game against the Indianapolis Colts at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025. Former Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan is being added to John Harbaugh’s coaching staff as the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator for the New York Giants, ESPN reported Wednesday.
Callahan, 41, was fired by the Titans last October after a 1-5 start. Tennessee posted a 4-19 record under Callahan, who was hired by the Titans after five seasons as the Cincinnati Bengals’ offensive coordinator that included a three-point loss in Super Bowl LVI.
ESPN reported Callahan also interviewed with the Giants for the offensive coordinator position, which ultimately went to Matt Nagy. The latter was a former offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs and head coach of the Chicago Bears.
Callahan, who will be coaching former first-round pick Jaxson Dart in his second season in the league, has extensive experience developing quarterbacks. He was the offensive coordinator for four seasons for Joe Burrow with the Bengals, was the quarterbacks coach in 2018 for Derek Carr with the Las Vegas Raiders and for two seasons for Matthew Stafford with the Detroit Lions.
In addition to Dart, Callahan will be working with veteran quarterback Jameis Winston.
Callahan and Nagy are part of an offensive staff that also includes former Rice University head coach Mike Bloomgren as offensive line coach and former offensive coordinators Greg Roman as senior offensive assistant and Tim Kelly as tight ends coach.
