WASHINGTON – In front of a season high 13,345 fans for the annual Gray Out, Georgetown’s second half comeback came up short in a 73-69 loss to visiting Butler.
Mac McClung led all scorers with 21 points while Jamorko Pickett added a season-high 18 points as the Hoyas (15-9, 5-6) blew a golden opportunity to take over third place in the BIG EAST after St. John’s fell a few minutes earlier at home to Providence.
McClung had a chance to tie it up late but after driving through traffic his layup attempt went hard off the glass as Georgetown ended the game without making a field goal in the last 4:25.
