Washington (AP) -- Georgetown coach Patrick Ewing's loss-filled stint at his alma mater was called a “challenging and frustrating time" by athletic director Lee Reed, who added Wednesday that “no one is more committed” to turning things around than the former star center.

Hours before the Hoyas were scheduled to carry a record-tying 24-game Big East regular-season losing streak into a matchup against visiting Villanova, Reed responded to a request for an interview from The Associated Press by issuing a statement that was emailed by a spokesperson.
