Comeback isn't Enough as Georgetown Loses to Butler, 90-87

Hoyas mount last-minute run to force overtime but can't pull off win on foul- and turnover-plagued Senior Day.

Georgetown came up just short on a dramatic, back-and-forth Senior Day. After falling behind by 15 with barely 3 minutes to play, the Hoyas rattled off a 18-3 run to force overtime against Butler. But foul trouble and turnovers ultimately doomed Georgetown to a 90-87 loss.

The comeback was an admirable display of heart by the Hoyas despite their difficult season and poor play for much of the game against Butler. Defensive energy, offensive pace, and plain luck all aligned to draw Georgetown back into a seemingly lost game.
