NEW YORK (AP) -Georgetown guard Chris Wright had a Big East tournament to remember, even if the memories might not always be so kind.
The junior scored 27 points in the No. 22 Hoyas’ quarterfinal victory over Syracuse, riddled overmatched Marquette in the semifinals, then had 20 points and seven assists in a 60-58 loss to seventh-ranked West Virginia in Saturday’s championship game.
Overshadowed all season by Greg Monroe and Austin Freeman, it was Wright who was in the spotlight in the final minutes. He scored on a spinning layup following a pair of free throws by Da’Sean Butler with 17.4 seconds remaining, then had the ball in his hands again after Butler managed to force in a go-ahead field goal with 4.2 seconds left.
Wright took the inbound pass and raced up court, but his desperation layup was no good.
