Malik Mack scores 37 as Georgetown edges past Washington State

Georgetown, led by coach Ed Cooley, defeated Washington State 85-82 in the first round of the College Basketball Crown on March 12, 2025, in a game held in Las Vegas, though some reports place the game in New York.
Georgetown played with a limited roster due to a 'health incident,' according to a social media update released an hour before the game, leading to three walk-ons and eight total players seeing action in the first half.
Malik Mack scored a career-high 37 points, playing all 40 minutes, while Jordan Burks recorded a double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds, also playing the entire game, and Georgetown used a 9-0 run to take a 74-72 lead with 4:47 left.
Washington State, led by LeJuan Watts with 22 points and Ethan Price with 16, held a 42-39 halftime lead and later regained a 78-77 lead with 3:01 remaining, but Watts missed two crucial free throws with 3.9 seconds left.
After Watts' missed free throws and the Cougars securing the rebound, Rihards Vavers missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer, securing the win for Georgetown, who advanced to play Nebraska with a record of 18-15, marking their first postseason victory since 2015.
