East Regional Final




East Regional Final: No. 2 Georgetown put together a remarkable rally in the final 10 minutes of the second half to overcome No. 1 North Carolina and win 96-84 in overtime to advance to the Final Four. The Hoyas trailed North Carolina by 10 points with about eight minutes remaining when they turned up the defensive pressure and held North Carolina to only field goal in the final 15 minutes. Jonathan Wallace hit a game-tying three-pointer in the final minute of regulation to force overtime, and the Hoyas dominated the extra session. Georgetown outscored North Carolina 15-3, scoring the first 14 points in overtime. Jeff Green led the Hoyas with 22 points, while Tyler Hansbrough led all scorers with 26. [3/25/07]
