Blue Demons Drop Nail-Biter on the Road
1/6/2024 2:20:00 PM | MEN'S BASKETBALL
WASHINGTON, D.C. – DePaul men's basketball dropped a nail-biter on the road against Georgetown, Saturday afternoon, 68-65. Jaden Henley notched a career-best performance with 17 points, five assists and two rebounds. Da'Sean Nelson scored a game-high 19 points for the second consecutive game. He shot 8-of-11 from the floor, in addition to seven rebounds and three assists.
In a game that had 10 ties and eight lead changes, the Blue Demons shot over 50 percent in the second half.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
Georgetown worked out to an early 7-4 lead at the first media timeout, before Carter Jr. hit a three to time the game on a second-chance basket. Two straight and-one plays by DePaul gave the Blue Demons a 13-12 lead, before Henley got hot with five-unanswered points. Georgetown responded with a three-pointer, before ending the half on a 7-0 run for the lead.
Nelson opened the second-half with DePaul's first six points as Georgetown held onto a one-point, 41-40 lead. The Hoyas lead grew to the largest of the game, 52-43, on an 8-2 run. DePaul continued to answer, putting together a stretch of 7-of-9 from the floor that held the game at one point, 62-61. Despite several opportunities, DePaul couldn't get the advantage as Georgetown remained up 64-61 with under two minutes to play. Down six, Jeremiah Oden hit a quick three pointer, making it a two-point, 67-65 game. DePaul couldn't get the potentially game-tying shot to fall at the buzzer.
