In a battle between Big East bottom-feeders DePaul (8-14, 1-8 Big East) and Georgetown (13-10, 4-6 Big East), the Blue Demons came within spitting distance of a win in another down-to-the-wire finish, falling 73-76 to the Hoyas on Tuesday night at Allstate Arena.
“I thought both teams played well enough to win,” head coach Dave Leitao said. “Two teams put uniforms on and one wins and one loses; that’s the cruelty of sports.”
Georgetown owned the first two minutes of play with 10 unanswered points before a momentum shifting three-pointer from Billy Garrett Jr. resurrected the Demons offense and nudged the Demons toward nine unanswered points of their own.
