A late 9-0 run propelled No. 11 Georgetown to its seventh consecutive win, a 64-56 victory at No. 13 Syracuse on Wednesday evening.

The Hoyas (19-5, 8-4 Big East) trailed for much of the second half before Hollis Thompson's 3-pointer with 3:50 remaining evened the score at 55-55. Chris Wright then found Austin Freeman for a fast-break bucket and Jason Clark followed with back-to-back layups to put the visitors in control.

Freeman paced a balanced Georgetown attack with 14 points while Clark and Julian Vaughn added 12 points apiece. The Hoyas finished with 20 assists on their 24 field goals.

Syracuse (20-5, 7-5) was led by Kris Joseph's 14 points, while C.J. Fair contributed 12 points in relief of Rick Jackson, who missed much of the second half with foul trouble. The Orange struggled offensively all night, shooting just 39.6 percent (19 of 48) overall and 25 percent (4 of 16) from 3-point range.
