Game Recap
Georgetown led at halftime once again, and once again, the game slipped away. Just four days after blowing an 18-point lead against Marquette, the Hoyas lost to Butler despite leading for nearly 35 minutes of game time. The Bulldogs battled back and prevailed 63-55, snapping a two-game losing skid.
Butler star guard Aaron Thompson was back after missing about three weeks with a knee injury, but he showed some signs of rust early and the Hoyas jumped out to a 14-6 lead. Behind stellar offensive play by Chuck Harris, the Bulldogs narrowed the gap, trailing 29-27 with 4:20 remaining in the first half, but a quick spurt by Georgetown gave them a seven-point lead at the break.
