Although the Foresters held a slim 10-7 lead five minutes into the contest, it was very short-lived.  The Tigers scored seven unanswered points to take a 14-10 lead at the 13:39 mark.  HU fought back and regained the lead at 19-18, but a 12-4 Georgetown run gave the Tigers their largest lead of the half at 30-23 with 6:06 on the clock.  Both teams made another small run over the final six minutes of the half, and they headed to the locker room with Georgetown up 39-33.

The Foresters had a sluggish start to the second period and soon found themselves down 11 at 50-39 with a little over 15 minutes to play.  A field goal from Steve Snider finally ignited HU's offense as the Foresters scrambled back to take a 56-55 lead on a trey from Kyle Ganton with 8:35 to go.  A seesaw battled ensued over the next five and a half minutes and resulted in a 69-69 tie with 2:57 left.  The Forester defense came up big, holding the Tigers to one field goal down the stretch, and allowing the offense to build a seven-point cushion.  A Georgetown 3-pointer at the buzzer accounted for the final margin of victory.

HU's Alex Kock and Kyle Ganton inflicted most of the damage on the Tigers.  Kock went 12-20 from the field, including 3-7 from behind the arc and 6-7 from the line for a season-high 33 points and eight boards.  Ganton was 7-9 for the game, including 5-6 from downtown and 4-5 from the charity stripe.  Georgetown's Brian Silverhorn took game-high honors with his 35 points in the game.  He was the lone Tiger to reach double figures.  For the game, the Tigers hit three more total field goals (30-27) than HU and hit 11 threes to eight for the Foresters.  But the difference in the game came at the free throw line where HU went 16-21 for 76%, while Georgetown was 3-11 for 27%.
