WASHINGTON, D.C-- The Alabama A&M men's basketball team played its final non-conference game of the season Saturday in Washington, D.C. against Georgetown. The Bulldogs fell behind early and were never able to recover, losing 89-49. The loss drops Alabama A&M to 0-13 overall.

The Bulldogs kept things close knit through the first ten minutes of the contest. They tied the game at seven on a jumper from Julian Walters with 16:04 left, but the Bulldogs never saw another tie thereafter. After a Jalen Reeder tip-in to cut Georgetown's lead to six, the Hoyas exploded for a 23-6 scoring run over the next ten minutes and commanded a 44-21 lead at halftime.  

In the second half, the Hoyas maintained control of the game and never relinquished their momentum shooting over 62 percent from the field en route to the 40-point rout.

Mohamed Sherif was the only player who had double figure scoring for the Bulldogs. He led the team with 12 points. Evan Wiley contributed eight points and had a team-high six rebounds.

The Bulldogs will open up conference play at Grambling State on New Year's Day for a 2 p.m. tip-off.
