Shorthanded and defenseless, Georgetown gets blitzed by No. 21 Marquette
Once again Saturday night, Georgetown found itself defenseless against a Big East contender without freshman center Thomas Sorber. The Hoyas' offense didn't fare much better.
Kam Jones carved up Georgetown for 13 points and a career-high 13 assists, and No. 21 Marquette encountered minimal resistance in the first half and thumped the Hoyas, 76-61, at Capital One Arena.

Team USA, Capitals star TJ Oshie announces retirement after 16 NHL seasons
Washington Capitals star T.J. Oshie has called it a career after 16 seasons in the NHL. The Stanley Cup champion, who helped Team USA claim victory over Russia in the 2014 Sochi Olympics, announced his decision Monday while speaking to fans at Washington Harbour in Georgetown. "Seven years ago, me and my teammates were swimming in that fountain celebrating an amazing time in our careers," Oshie said, recalling the Capitals' Stanley Cup celebrations in 2018. "I can't thank the Caps enough. Another first-class move by them to have my retirement here, invite all the people out. It really made this day special." Oshie, 38, was drafted in the first round of the 2005 NHL Draft by the St. Louis Blues, where he played seven seasons before being traded to Washington in 2015. He registered 192 goals and 193 assists (385 points) in 567 games with the Capitals, trailing only Alex Ovechkin for the most goals on the team. "I would like to thank the Washington Capitals and the St. Louis Blues for giving me the opportunity to play the game I love, all of my teammates who battled with me every night, my coaches who challenged me to be better every day, and the athletic trainers and equipment staff who got me ready to play," Oshie said in a statement provided by the National Hockey League's Players Association. "I also want to thank the fans, your energy and passion made every game memorable, and it was an honor to play in front of you." Oshie was sidelined last season with an ongoing back injury. His final NHL game was on April 28, 2024, against the New York Rangers in the playoffs. One of his most memorable moments, which earned him the title of Olympic hero, was in 2014 when he scored four shootout goals in the United States' victory over Russia in the preliminary round of the Sochi Games. "I like to think that when I was playing, that I was playing for my teammates, for my coaches, for my family, for my fans. I rarely thought about my own accolades," Oshie said Monday. "To be remembered (as a 'warrior' type of player) is a huge honor because that was my goal and the way I played the game."

T.J. Oshie, US Olympic star in Sochi and Capitals Stanley Cup champion, announces he's retiring
WASHINGTON — T.J. Oshie, who scored four shootout goals for the U.S. to beat host Russia at the 2014 Sochi Olympics and helped the Washington Capitals win the Stanley Cup in 2018, announced Monday he is retiring after playing 16 NHL seasons. Oshie shared his news in front of hundreds of fans gathered at the fountains at Washington Harbour in Georgetown, seven years to the day of one of the most memorable Cup celebrations in hockey history when he and several teammates jumped into the fountains and took a dip. The announcement had been expected for quite some time, with Oshie's contract expiring. The 38-year-old did not play this past season because of a nagging back injury that sidelined him off and on, going on long-term injured reserve instead. 'I would like to thank the Washington Capitals and the St. Louis Blues for giving me the opportunity to play the game I love, all of my teammates who battled with me every night, my coaches who challenged me to be better every day and the athletic trainers and equipment staff who got me ready to play,' Oshie said in a news release sent out by the NHLPA. Oshie said in the spring of 2024 he would only return to the Capitals if he found a permanent solution or fix to the issue. His final game was at home on April 28 last year against the New York Rangers, a 4-2 loss in the first round that eliminated Washington in a sweep. Taken 24th in the 2005 draft by St. Louis, Oshie played 1,116 regular-season and playoff games in the league with the Blues and Capitals since making his debut in 2008. He had 336 goals and 428 assists for 764 points, including 29 goals during Washington's Cup run. Oshie made an international name for himself at the Olympics, earning the nickname 'T.J. Sochi' for going 4 for 6 in shootout attempts against Sergei Bobrovsky during the U.S.-Russia preliminary round game in that tournament. In the NHL, his biggest impact came after he was traded from the Blues to the Capitals in 2015. Oshie took on an immediate leadership role as a key addition to the core of Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and John Carlson, helping the team make the playoffs in eight of his nine seasons in the nation's capitals. Oshie's 76 power-play goals in D.C. are the fifth most in franchise history. He scored 49 times in the shootout, tied for third all time since it was implemented in 2005. ___ AP NHL:
