WASHINGTON, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Jason Clark's 18 points and Georgetown's pressure defense sent the No. 16 Hoyas to a 70-59 victory Thursday over Memphis.

It was the second win for Georgetown over the Tigers this season. They met in the Maui Invitational last month and Georgetown pulled out a 91-88 overtime decision in that one.

Georgetown forced 17 turnovers in the first meeting with Memphis and the Tigers suffered 18 turnovers Thursday.

Hollis Thompson added 17 points for the Hoyas (10-1), winners of eight in a row. Markel Starks had 14 points and Henry Sims 12.

Memphis (6-5), which has lost three out of four, was led by Chris Crawford with 17 points.
