Georgetown 84, Duke 68, 2:10 left: Probably the most telling stat from this game is the field goal percentage disparity.  Georgetown is still shooting over 70 percent from the floor, which is absurd, while Duke is stuck at a dismal 35 percent.  Singler just fouled out, and the Hoyas just converted another and-one.
