Georgetown, Tennessee face off in Old Spice semifinals

Nov 28, 2008 - 11:18 AM No. 16 Georgetown (3-0) vs. No. 12 Tennessee (4-0), 1:00 p.m. EST

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Florida (Ticker) -- Georgetown and Tennessee tip off the second round of the Old Spice Classic on Friday as the heavyweights seek a spot in the title game.

The 16th-ranked Hoyas outlasted a pesky Wichita State squad on Thursday, as DaJuan Summer scored all 14 of his points in the second half to lead his team to a 58-50 triumph.

With the Hoyas (3-0) clinging to a 43-42 lead with 5:20 remaining, Summers scored five of Georgetown's next seven points as they took control.

Austin Freeman put the Hoyas ahead, 45-42, with a layup, and Summers followed with a 3-pointer and a short jumper to give Georgetown a 50-44 lead with 2:45 left and it held on for the victory.

The 12th-ranked Volunteers, on the other hand, had much less trouble in their first-round matchup, taking control early against Siena en route to a 78-64 win. They staged an 18-0 run in the first half and never looked back.

Wayne Chism led the way with 15 points, while Renaldo Woolridge and Tyler Smith added 14 apiece for Tennessee.

The Saints opened the second half with an 11-0 run, keyed by six points from Alex Franklin, but could not get any closer than nine the rest of the way.
