Yes, his Florida International team was routed by No. 12 Georgetown, but Dominguez, the starting guard for the Golden Panthers, knocked down six 3-pointer and scored 20 points in a starring role.
The junior, who spent two years at Northeastern Junior College in Sterling, Colo., is leading Florida International with 11.1 points per game and has hit 21 of 23 free throws. Dominguez, who led the Jaguars to a Class AAAA state title in 2004 and a runner-up finish in 2005, has hit a team-high 31 3s on the year.
Here is the Associated Press write-up of the game:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Austin Freeman scored 17 points, Chris Wright had 14 and DaJuan Summers added 13 to lead No. 12 Georgetown past Florida International 76-38 on Tuesday night.
The Hoyas (9-1), who won their sixth straight, open Big East play on Dec. 29 at No. 2 Connecticut.
The Golden Panthers (4-9) scored the fewest points in their history.
Florida International dressed 10 players — five of them walk-ons — and it was quickly apparent they weren’t in the Hoyas’ class. Georgetown led 23-4 with 10:31 left and were ahead 43-16 at halftime.
Georgetown had a season-high 12 3-pointers. The Hoyas hit their first five 3-point attempts and eight of 10. Freeman was 5-for-6 from beyond the arc.
Michael Dominguez had 20 points for Florida International, losers of five straight and seven of eight.
Six-foot-11 freshman center Greg Monroe, who struggled against Mount St. Mary’s on Saturday, had 10 points, six rebounds and five steals for the Hoyas.
Florida International, which is missing its three leading scorers, have played 18 ranked teams in its history without a win. This was their first game against the Hoyas since Dec. 2, 1989, when they lost 114-67.
