No. 2 UConn men’s basketball overcomes Georgetown’s upset bid, 84-73

UConn men’s basketball team kept its streak of double-digit wins going by toppling Georgetown, 84-73. But this was not the walk in the park many expected.

The Hoyas led by seven with 11:50 left in the game and UConn looked primed for a brutal upset. That is, until grad transfer Joey Calcaterra poured in 14 points in 12 minutes to blow an angsty, sluggish game wide open. The San Diego transfer was scoring in all sorts of different ways, including this absurd high-low play that he tipped in for some very crucial points.

Tristen Newton led UConn with 17 points and seven assists.
