Georgetown had not scored in the last 2:04 minutes and the Friars took their first lead of the game after an Emmitt Holt (Rochester, N.Y.) three. The Friars led 16-15 going into the under eight media timeout.
Diallo kept the Friars hot from beyond the arc, knocking down back-to-back threes. The Hoyas stayed in it, making their free throws and making the last shot of the half.
