 WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - Coach John Thompson III preaches patience at Georgetown. Jessie Sapp is a believer. The sophomore guard scored a career-high 20 points to break a shooting slump and lead the second-seeded Hoyas to an 80-55 rout over 15th-seeded Belmont in the first round of the East Regional on Thursday.
Sapp had been 12-for-42 in his previous six games and had failed to reach double figures.
"Basically, I was rushing a lot of shots," Sapp said. "We kind of slowed it down. Coach and the other coaches told me, 'Just take your time on your shot.' ... I was making them."
