Georgetown Comes Back to Beat UConn in 72-69 Thriller
Georgetown shook off a sluggish, frustrating first half-plus to mount a furious comeback to beat the hated Connecticut Huskies, 72-69. The first 23-plus minutes appeared to be more of the same for a Georgetown team that has struggled to defend and to generate consistent half-court offense. The Hoyas suffered repeated breakdowns on the defensive end, failing to rotate over to open Connecticut shooters, letting Husky ball-handlers easily penetrate to the basket, and sometime just not running back on defense as the visitors sought out easy points in transition.
