The Blue Raiders overcame a seven-point deficit in the final 75 seconds of regulation to send the game into an extra frame en route to ending the Tigers' 29-game Mid-South Conference winning streak. With 33 seconds remaining in regulation, Lindsey Wilson sophomore guard Jeremiah Diebler nailed a deep three-pointer to cut the Georgetown lead to 64-60. Georgetown senior Demetrius Guions missed a pair of free throws giving the Blue Raiders (17-3, 4-1 in the Mid-South Conference) a chance to cut into the lead. Lindsey Wilson junior guard Joshua Cherry did just that. Cherry dribbled to the top of the key and hit a three pointer with 13.3 seconds left in the game cutting the deficit to 64-63. Cherry finished with 11 points and a game-high five assists. Senior guard David Graham was immediately fouled by Cherry with 11.2 seconds remaining and preceded to make one of two freebies to give Georgetown (21-2, 5-1) a 65-63 lead and the Blue Raiders another chance. Paki Browns rebound dunk puts LW fans in frenzy Cherry once again drove the length of the court but this time missed a lay-up. Junior center Paki Brown cleaned up the miss with a perfectly timed rebound dunk with 5.2 seconds left tying the game 65-65 and sending the capacity crowd into a frenzy.

The Tigers cut the LWC lead to 72-71 with 2:20 remaining after senior guard Jerry Turner knocked down two free throws. Cherry responded with a quick lay-up to extend the lead back to three points. Following a defensive stop, Cherry was fouled and knocked down one of the two free throws extending the Lindsey Wilson lead to 75-71. Georgetown would not go away. Tiger sophomore guard Matt Walls knocked down two free throws and after a Blue Raider turnover, Guions scored in the paint to tie the game at 75-75 with 13.3 seconds left. After a timeout, Walls' foul sent McPherson to line where he calmly hit both giving Lindsey Wilson a 77-75 lead.
