Isaiah Jackson keyed the comeback with a late 3-pointer to bring PC to within two with 1:17 to play. Alpha Diallo converted a pair of free throws with under 30 seconds left, then Kyron Cartwright grabbed a Georgetown miss with less than five seconds to go in a tie game. Cartwright was fouled on the rebound, and made a pair of free throws to put Providence ahead for good.
Jessie Govan was a force inside and out for Georgetown. He was the Hoyas’ only double figure scorer with 27 points.
Jalen Lindsey knocked down four 3-pointers and led PC with 17 points, while Jackson was again a force off of the bench with 16 points, six rebounds, and eight free throw attempts.
