For the first time this season, the atmosphere was electric at a Georgetown game. “They did everything right,” Syracuse Coach Jim Boeheim, right, said of Patrick Ewing’s Hoyas. Georgetown made just one field goal in the final five minutes of regulation as Syracuse surged to force overtime. In the extra period, Orange guard Tyus Battle hit two of his six three-pointers to complete the comeback. Freshman forward Oshae Brissett added 25 points and a game-high 14 rebounds — helping Syracuse outrebound Georgetown 44-37 — and guard Frank Howard added 19 points.
