Georgetown is off to a brilliant 3-0 start, adding a big-time non-conference win against Illinois on Tuesday, under first-year head coach Patrick Ewing.

Ewing, in a post-game hit with FS1, shared some praise for freshman guard James Akinjo, who really "showed some nut" against the Fighting Illini.

Ah yes, Ewing's hilarious flub brings to mind Joe Theismann's great insight into Kirk Cousins' contract with the Vikings (1:25).
