Washington -- The ball was right there. So tempting. So tantalizing.
So with 63 seconds left in a suddenly dramatic game at Georgetown, Frank Howard decided to go and get it.
"The whole game, (Jessie) Govan was kind of popping a little far, kind of elevating our bigs," Howard said. "So I just wanted to take him from Paschal and leave (Paschal) to protect the rim. (Govan) wasn't looking at me. And I just came up with the steal, I guess."
