LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) – Jason Clark hit a big 3-pointer in overtime and scored 26 points, helping Georgetown hold off No. 8 Memphis 91-88 in the fifth-place game of the Maui Invitational on Wednesday.
Memphis and Georgetown didn’t look like two teams playing for fifth place, trading monster dunks, 3-pointers and leads throughout regulation.
The Hoyas (4-1) went up 90-86 in overtime after Clark hit a 3 with 51 seconds left and Markel Starks followed with two free throws.
The Tigers (2-2) cut the lead to two on Stan Simpson’s two free throws and had a shot to tie after Georgetown’s Hollis Thompson made just 1 of 2 at the other end. But Memphis didn’t get a good look at the end of regulation and did it again in overtime, with Antonio Barton’s 3-pointer coming up well short at the buzzer.
