WASHINGTON (AP) On a team ranked as high as No. 2 this season, it was a freshman who saved the day for UConn.

Adama Sanogo and Tristen Newton each scored 15 and Alex Karaban knocked down two late 3-pointers as No. 24 UConn held for a 68-62 win at last-place Georgetown on Saturday.

"We're lucky to have him in a UConn uniform," coach Dan Hurleyy said about Karaban, who came into the game as the Huskies fourth-leading scorer, averaging 9.7. "There's not many freshmen in the country that have been as consistent, solid."
