Nebraska 81, Georgetown 69
Brice Williams scored 28 points as the Georgetown Hoyas fell to Nebraska in the quarterfinal of the College Basketball Crown.
With the same short-handed starting lineup that held together in the win over Washington State, Georgetown started 2 for 10, but hung around for much of the first half, forcing seven turnovers and adding six offensive rebounds. Runs of 7-0 and 9-0 carried the Cornhuskers to a 34-24 lead at the half, with the Hoyas shooting just 29 percent from the floor, 28 percent from three (4-14) and 28 percent from the foul line (2-7), with Mack limited to 1 for 8 shooting at the break.Mack opened the second half with a turnover and two misses and the Hoyas struggled, giving up a 11-2 run and trailing by 19 four minutes in. Back to back threes from Mack brought GU to 12 with 13:18 remaining, and a three to close to 10 at the 10 minute mark, 57-47. Mack scored 11 of GU's next 16 to close to nine with 3:29 to play, 76-67.
A Mack pass to Austin Montgomery brought the Hoyas to eight, 77-69, but the Huskers got an offensive rebound tip-in, 79-69, and Montgomery missed a long three with 1:34 remaining, ending a spirited Georgetown run.
halftime, but Nebraska's 34-18 advantage in the paint proved decisive.

Inbound Transfer Announced
In the midst of the transfer portal, Georgetown's first inbound transfer has been added to the list.
Langston Love, a 6-5 guard from Universal City, TX who played three seasons at Baylor, announced a transfer to Georgetown via the portal Wednesday. This announcement was not confirmed by the basketball office, which no longer comments on inbound recruits or outbound transfers.Ranked 28th in the ESPN class of 2021, Love averaged 8.9 points this past season, with 11 starts in 20 game appearances. Parts of his career at Baylor were limited by injury, with an ACL tear as in 2021-22, an eye injury late in the 2022-23 season and an ankle injury in 2023-24. Love has one season of eligibility remaining.
Recruiting services are favorable that Love can contribute to the Hoyas in 2025-26, though he does not appear to be a direct replacement for either the graduating Micah Peavy or the transferring Drew Fielder. It is unclear, at least for now, whether this addition might be preemptive to a pending transfer by someone else.
Per @GoodmanHoops Baylor transfer guard Langston Love is likely heading to DC baby! The Baylor junior is a SNIPER from three and would be great addition in the grey and blue!! @lhlv4 pic.twitter.com/gr5AP46pYq
