The Tigers clawed back and in the first five minutes had their largest second half lead of three following a basket by Jaquay Wales.

Georgetown’s final lead of the game came when Wales found Michael Turay for a bucket off a turnover, 45-44.

Thomas More finished on a 13-8 run over the final 8-plus minutes.

Boyd, who had three rebounds on Saturday, finished the regular season averaging 16.9 points a game.
