Georgetown had the ball with a chance to take the lead with just 3 minutes to play at Creighton. The Hoyas had battled back from a 16-point deficit, shoring up a defense that had leaked too often against the Bluejays during a blowout loss in Washington, and eking out just enough offense to claw their way closer. But a casual turnover led to a Creighton three-point play, and the Hoyas never threatened again, eventually succumbing, 85-77.
This game was both frustrating and heartening. Frustrating, as Creighton went on a 16-0 run to end the first half, which Georgetown was powerless to contain.
