DIVINE WHINE: Hoyas Frighten Friars in Cooley Return, 84-76

Your Georgetown Hoyas (8-12, 1-8 Big East) fought back against the Providence Friars (14-7, 5-4) enough to cause panic in the final 3 minutes, but ultimately came up short, 84-76. In the midst of an emotional day for coach Ed Cooley returning to his hometown and a chaotic day for Friars fans who fell over themselves while spewing vitriol, an exciting basketball game broke out.
