NOTRE DAME MENS BASKETBALL DROPS A HEARTBREAKER IN OT TO GEORGETOWN 72-68

BY: EVAN J. THOMAS

Markus Burton scored all six of Notre Dame’s points in overtime but had his three point attempt with seconds left blocked by Supreme Cook as Georgetown defeated the Irish 72-68 in overtime on Saturday at the Joyce Center.

Burton missed a potential game winning three point heave from 3/4 court that would have won the game for the Irish.  Burton finished the game 6 of 20 from the field with 17 points.  Julian Roper II and J.R. Konieczny adde 13 points each and Braeden Shrewsberry had 10 points off the bench for the Irish.

This was the first meeting between the 2 schools and former Big East rivals since January 21, 2013. Notre Dame plays The Citadel on Tuesday, the second of six straight home games.
