Impact In a remarkable display of defense, Spears was clamped by Andre Jackson Saturday. Spears lack of involvement is also a testament to the stagnant and overall poor Georgetown offense. Speculatively, Spears could be dealing with nagging injury, but consider Saturday an extreme aberration.

Impact Spears got the start in his first game with the Hoyas and was brilliant in a hard fought overtime victory.

It's unclear where he stands in the pecking order once Jay Heath and Dante Harris return, but Spears definitely showed he can be a reliable scorer in the opener.
