COL BKB: Georgetown 84, Notre Dame 82

NEW YORK, March 9 (UPI) -- Jeff Green scored a career-high 30 points Friday night as ninth-ranked Georgetown edged Notre Dame, 84-82, in the semifinals of the Big East Tournament.

Green, the conference's Player of the Year, sank a go-ahead jump shot with 14 seconds left, but was fouled, and missed a subsequent free throw which gave Notre Dame one last chance.

Russell Carter missed a three-point attempt with six seconds remaining.

DaJuan Summers had 18 points and three rebounds; Patrick Ewing Jr. had 15 points and four rebounds; and Green added 12 rebounds for the top-seeded Hoyas (25-6), who rallied from a 14-point first half deficit.

Carter led 16th-ranked Notre Dame with 21 points and nine rebounds.

Tory Jackson had 20 points and nine rebounds; and Colin Falls scored 14 points for the Fighting Irish (24-7), who had a five-game winning steak snapped.

Georgetown will play in the conference final Saturday for the first time since 1996.
