Georgetown equaled its worst conference start in program history Saturday by losing in overtime to #18 Butler, 85-76. The Hoyas made a spirited comeback to take a late lead in regulation, only to give away multiple chances to win in regulation. Overtime was a one-sided rout as the revived visitors ran away from the Hoyas. The loss is Georgetown’s tenth straight regular season in-conference defeat, a new low in a season full of them.
Today, like many days over the past two years, was not an out-and-out failure. Georgetown led Butler by one at the half, and had many opportunities to put the game away down the stretch.
