Hoyas cut 26-point deficit to just 1 in the closing seconds but can't complete turnaround.
Two weeks ago, Georgetown and Providence faced off in D.C., and I wrote of the Hoyas' 73-69 loss, "Georgetown played just well enough to lose closely Saturday." The same was true of these teams' rematch today, although that high-level view misses the particular drama in round 2. The Hoyas came out of the gate as lethargically and incompetently as can be imagined, falling behind by 26 before half. They then mounted a fantastic second-half comeback, playing with defensive intensity that's been lacking throughout the season.
