Georgetown Upsets Top-Seeded Villanova, 72-71

Georgetown's Dante Harris scored a team-best 18 points with five assists in the Hoyas' Quarterfinal win over Villanova.

The Hoyas are making their first trip to the Tournament semifinals since 2015.

No one was exactly sure just what to expect when Villanova took the court for its BIG EAST Tournament quarterfinal game against Georgetown Thursday afternoon.

The Wildcats were already going to be without co-BIG EAST Player of the Year Collin Gillespie, who was lost to a torn MCL suffered in a late-season win over Creighton. Justin Moore? Who knew? The sophomore guard suffered a sprained ankle in Villanova’s regular-season finale loss to Providence and his status was up in the air right up until tipoff.
