WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 (UPI) -- Otto Porter's free throws with 8.5 seconds left Saturday boosted 12th-ranked Georgetown to a 52-50 Big East Conference win over Rutgers.

The Hoyas (16-3, 6-2 Big East) hung on for their third straight victory after Rutgers' Eli Carter missed a driving layup as the final buzzer sounded.

With 25 seconds to play and the score tied 50-50, the Scarlet Knights' Myles Mack missed a 3-pointer, the Hoyas gained control and Porter was then fouled away from the ball.

Porter (nine points) proceeded to convert two foul shots, breaking a 50-50 tie.

Henry Sims led Georgetown with 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Jason Clark also reached double figures with 11 points.

Carter finished with 14 points for the Scarlet Knights (11-9, 3-4).
