IRVINE, Calif. - Part of the story of Kevin Braswell's junior season is that he has help. The Georgetown point guard not only has big men who can score, but also guards who can help him with his ball-handling duties. As a point guard who finally shed his scoring guard mentality, Braswell knows how to use that help, and that's the other part of the story, one which has the Hoyas playing Maryland tomorrow night at Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim. "He's always had the skill level," Georgetown coach Craig Esherick said of Braswell, who is averaging 11.2 points per game, but has also contributed 190 assists this season, to 98 turnovers.
