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 were scheduled to carry a record-tying 24-game Big East regular-season losing streak into a matchup against visiting Villanova. Georgetown entered Wednesday’s game with a 5-10 overall record, 0-4 in conference play. Its previous outing was an 80-51 loss to Big East opponent Butler.
