Well, that was ugly. Georgetown turned in its second straight subpar performance in Jamaica Sunday, needing a late comeback and overtime to fed off the lowly but feisty South Florida Bulls, 76-73. Jessie Govan led all scorers with 27 points while James Akinjo went for 14 points, including a critical late three-pointer that was needed just to force the extra session.
The early signs for the Hoyas were at least cautiously optimistic. Georgetown gradually built a 10-point lead before the break thanks to six-plus scoreless minutes by South Florida. Mac McClung made a couple of plays off the bounce, while Josh LeBlanc characteristically converted energy into points.
