Hoyas salvage a seemingly lost cause with thrilling game-ending run, move to 6-2 in Big East play.
After nearly an entire game of frustrating, uneven, foul-plagued play, Georgetown played the last two and a half minutes against Creighton with great vengeance and furious anger, closing on a 15-3 run that was just enough to pull out a 74-73 victory. With the scintillating finish, Georgetown snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, a mirror image of Saturday, when the Hoyas fumbled away the chance at a road win at UConn. The Hoyas needed a win tonight to keep their slim NCAA Tournament odds afloat, and got the right result, however improbably.
