With 2:46 remaining in Saturday afternoon’s clash with the Syracuse Orange, the Georgetown Hoyas looked primed to take their first win against a high-major opponent. But, a series of bad turnovers and cold shooting allowed for the Orange to climb back into the game and force OT, where they would win, 86-79.
The loss is a gut punch for the Hoyas, who had a chance to enter Big East play undefeated. But, they must now recover from the emotional drain of Saturday’s game before hosting North Texas on Wednesday evening.
The first 10 minutes of game action were ugly for both sides, to say the least.
