UNI went cold down the stretch and it cost them against Georgetown. The Panthers had a string of 11 missed shots down the stretch and fell to the Hoyas 54-49. The Panthers were making a third-straight appearance in the NCAA tournament and close the season 23-10. UNI made only six of 24 shots in the second half. “It’s tough right now because I really thought this was a game we could win and that we would win,” coach Greg McDermott said during the post-game show on the Panther Radio Network. “It was a story of two halves. We made shots in the first half and that gave us the lead. In the second half, we couldn’t make shots.” McDermott said despite the disappointment Friday, this will be a season he and his team will look back at with pride.
