UConn (now 11-4, 2-2 Big East) were up by 19 late in the first half, 15 at the half and by as much as 17 early in the second. Then all hell broke loose, Austin Freeman broke loose...
Freeman scored 28 of his career-high 33 points in the second half, and No. 12 Georgetown came back to beat No. 13 Connecticut 72-69 in a early season Big East matchup. Freeman finished 12-for-20 from the field, with five three-pointers and seven rebounds. Greg Monroe had 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Hoyas (12-2, 3-1). Stanley Robinson led Uconn with 16 points, most of his work was done early though.
"It's the most heartbreaking loss this year. It's not even close," said UConn coach Jim Calhoun.
