Dec 11, 2012 - 2:29 AM Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Otto Porter had 22 points to lead No. 15 Georgetown to an 89-53 rout of the Longwood Lancers.

Markel Starks hit four 3-pointers and had 17 points, while Nate Lubick gave six points to go along with seven assists for the Hoyas (8-1), who have won five straight since an overtime loss to Indiana on Nov. 20.

Another 9-0 run later in the first half helped Georgetown take a 40-24 lead into the break.

The Hoyas began the second half with a 12-3 run, capped on a 3-pointer from Starks for a 52-27 lead less than three minutes in.
