Jason Clark had a career-high 19 points, freshman Hollis Thompson had 16 and No. 18 Georgetown routed Lafayette 97-64 on Saturday.

Chris Wright added 14 for the Hoyas (4-0), who had six players in double figures. Greg Monroe had 13 points, nine rebounds and six assists, Austin Freeman scored 12 and Julian Vaughn finished with 11 points. Clark added six rebounds and five assists.

Thompson, who had just a single field goal in Georgetown's first three games, hit all six shots he attempted _ four of them 3-pointers.

The Leopards (4-2) were led by Jared Mintz' 16 points. Jim Mower had 12.

The Hoyas led throughout the game, but Lafayette trailed just 25-23 with 8:41 to play in the first half. Then Georgetown, led by Monroe's seven points, closed the half with a 20-6 run to lead 45-31 at the break.

Georgetown had held its first three opponents to an average of 49 points, and while it wasn't that stingy, it still forced Lafayette into 11 first-half turnovers.

The Hoyas came out quickly in the second half, outscoring the Leopards 12-1 for a 57-32 lead with 17:28 to play. The highlight was a steal by the 6-foot-11 Monroe, who dribbled three-quarters of the court for a pretty left-handed layup.

Clark had six points in the first half, but hit three 3-pointers in the first eight minutes of the second.

The outcome was never really in doubt after that, unlike the Hoyas' other home game, when they escaped with a 46-45 win over Temple on Nov. 17.

Even though Georgetown built a 25-point lead early in the second half, pesky Lafayette managed to avoid embarrassment by scoring six straight points. They kept firing 3-pointers, although they missed nine of their 12 attempts in the second half.

The Leopards, who were playing the Hoyas for the first time in 30 years and a ranked opponent for the first time since February 2006, hit five of seven from 3-point range in the first 10 minutes of the game.
