After a close fought game at Hinkle Fieldhouse, Georgetown prevailed in the second half 85-81 behind many, many points scored by the top three Hoyas.
This is the first time Butler has lost at home since February 20, 2016 against eventual national champion Villanova.
The first half was very back and forth, with neither team giving the other much breathing room. Georgetown controlled most of the first half, but Butler was able to take the single point lead into halftime. Halftime scoring leaders were Jessie Govan for Georgetown with 13 points and Butler’s Kelan Martin (naturally) with 16 points.
