(AP Photo/Matt Slocum)It was hardly the first time this Georgetown team has frittered away an opportunity for a big win, but Saturday’s 73-69 home loss to Butler seemed to sting more than the others. But after rallying from a double-digit deficit to get within two points with 4:25 to play, Georgetown missed five field goals, wasted a big Butler turnover and gave away the ball twice as the Bulldogs simply held their ground. “Our bench did an outstanding job of coming in there and fighting, scratching clawing and getting us back into the game,” Georgetown Coach Patrick Ewing said. Perhaps Georgetown (15-9, 5-6) can take solace in the fact it will hit the road for its next game, Wednesday at Seton Hall. The second unit went on a 7-0 run that Pickett capped with a long three-pointer to get Georgetown within five with 7:12 to play.
