This one stings. This one stings worse than any other loss this season. It’s not just because it was to Georgetown. It’s not just because it’s a home loss (3rd in a row). It’s not just because the loss has huge ramifications in Big East standings. It’s because the Orange played a great basketball game for the first 35 minutes and then completely fell apart. Syracuse led 53-49 with 5:45 remaining before the Hoyas closed out the game on a 15-3 run to post their first win in the Carrier Dome since 2002.

Hollis Thompson hit a decisive 3-pointer to lead a late 9-0 Georgetown run as No. 11 Georgetown defeated No. 13 Syracuse to give coach John Thompson III his first win at the Carrier Dome.
