After Georgetown's two point win over Villanova on Saturday, a reporter opened Hoya head coach John Thompson III's postgame press conference with the following question:
"John, you ever won a game before with 25 turnovers?"
Thompson paused, and then responded:
"I don't know. That's a hell of a first question. I'll take a win, and then we'll try and fix the turnovers."
It took me a few days, but I've looked at four seasons of Princeton box scores from when Thompson coached the Tigers and the last five years of game stats for Georgetown.
The answer to the reporter's question is "no."
The most turnovers in a victory during his time at each school:
Georgetown 72 Providence 62 - 22 turnovers - 1/5/06.
Princeton 75 Columbia 52 - 21 turnovers - 2/27/04.
