Georgetown reserves closing gap

Behind the closed doors of McDonough Arena, where Georgetown's basketball team holds its daily practices, there has been a troubling disparity between the performance of the starters and that of the squad's young reserves. Whether the topic is dribbling, passing, shooting, offense or defense, Coach John Thompson III has wanted nothing quite so much as for his second group to catch up with his first. Finally, after two months' work, the gap is closing. Thompson used last night's game against Florida International -- the final nonconference game before the Hoyas launch into their grueling Big East campaign -- as a means of rewarding the player he feels is most responsible, inserting sixth man Omar Wattad in the starting lineup in place of senior Jessie Sapp.
