Syracuse Upsets Georgetown
Saturday, February 16, 2008
From the Associated Press...
Syracuse may be down. Don't count the Orange out just yet, though.
Paul Harris scored 22 points and freshman Donte Greene added 18 to lead Syracuse to a 77-70 victory over No. 8 Georgetown on Saturday in front of 31,327 at the Carrier Dome, the largest on-campus attendance in the nation this season.
The win keeps alive the Orange's postseason hopes with only five games remaining in the regular season.
Syracuse (17-9 overall, 7-6 Big East), coming off a surprising loss at South Florida, built a 21-point lead in the first half and withstood two late rallies by the Hoyas (20-4, 10-3).
The win also served as a measure of revenge for Syracuse, which blew a seven-point lead in the final five minutes of regulation and lost in overtime at Georgetown last month.
