The refrain had become that “sooner or later” Georgetown would find a way to hang on and grab a victory in one of these close games. It happened this afternoon, as the Hoyas upset the Seton Hall Pirates 83-80, snapping a 4-game losing streak and inching up to 4-9 in Big East play (14-10 overall). The headliner of this contest was Marcus Derrickson, who turned in a beast-like performance that included 22 points and 18 rebounds. The shot we will all remember—from this game and likely from this season—is his three pointer that broke the tie, giving the Hoyas a lead with four seconds remaining.
