No. 24 UConn uses late rally to beat last-place Georgetown

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — On a team ranked as high as No. “We’re lucky to have him in a UConn uniform,” coach Dan Hurleyy said about Karaban, who came into the game as the Huskies fourth-leading scorer, averaging 9.7. “There’s not many freshmen in the country that have been as consistent, solid.” Despite leading for most of the game, the heavily favored Huskies needed a late 8-1 run to earn the season sweep over the Hoyas. With the game winding down and the Hoyas still within a possession, Karaban ended Georgetown’s upset bid with his third 3-pointer of the day with 27 seconds left. “I didn’t think we executed very well down the stretch,” Ewing said about his team’s late struggles in both games with UConn this season.
