Georgetown completed a grueling opening week of the season Sunday with a heartbreaking two-point loss to #5 Duke, 86-84, under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden in the final of the 2K Classic. Four Hoyas scored in double figures, led by Isaac Copeland's 21 points, but it wasn't enough to match even hotter shooting from Duke's Grayson Allen. A desperate Hoya comeback fueled by a pair of Copeland triples came up just short, as did the sophomore forward's last-second heave for the win.
It's hard to feel good about being 1-3, but Georgetown has a lot of positives to take from its first nine days of action.
