Georgetown used a late 13-0 run to lead 54-42 at halftime, averaging nearly 1.3 points per possession despite 10 turnovers.

Central Arkansas made six of its first seven shots to open the second half, pulling within 64-55 on a 3-pointer by junior center Hayden Koval with 16:51 left.

Koval made 4 of 5 attempts from 3-point range and finished with 21 points while sophomore wing Eddy Kayouloud had 15 points for the Bears, who made 12 3-pounters but shot only 38.4 percent overall.

Georgetown also received 13 points from senior guard Jagan Mosley, who was perfect from the field and the foul line.
