Seeded seventh in the 2014 Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden and hoping a run to the tournament championship game would earn them an NCAA Tournament bid , the Hoyas met the conference 's last-place team , 10th-seeded DePaul , in the tournament 's first round . The Blue Demons had lost 12 of their last 13 games , including a 79 – 46 blowout by Butler in their last regular-season game , and Georgetown was the decided favorite to win . Georgetown led 25 – 23 at halftime but DePaul took a 28 – 27 lead with 18:39 left in the second half . The teams traded leads until a Markel Starks jumper put the Hoyas ahead 40 – 36 with 12:22 to play , but DePaul came back and retook the lead at 43 – 40 with 9:16 remaining . The game was tied at 45 – 45 with 6:40 remaining when DePaul went on a decisive 8 – 0 run to pull ahead 53 – 45 . The Hoyas closed to 58 – 56 on a Jabril Trawick layup with eight seconds left , but DePaul freshman guard Billy Garrett Jr. sank two free throws with six seconds left and DePaul upset Georgetown 60 – 56 . D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera went only 5-for-14 ( 35.7 percent ) from the field but made all 10 free throws he attempted to finish with a game-high 21 points and Markel Starks had a 17-point game , but the other seven Georgetown players who appeared in the game combined for only 18 points . Overall , Georgetown went only 5-for-17 ( 29.4 percent ) from three-point range . It was only the second victory the Blue Demons had ever had in a Big East Tournament and the first since 2009 , and it was the first time they had beaten the Hoyas since January 22 , 1994 , bringing a 14-game Georgetown winning streak against DePaul over a period of 20 years to an end . DePaul head coach Oliver Purnell won his first game against Georgetown in seven tries and first Big East Tournament game in four tries . It was the first time Georgetown had lost its first game of a Big East Tournament since receiving a first-round bye and losing in the second round in 2011 , as well as the Hoyas ′ first loss in the tournament 's first round since 2009 . Ousting Georgetown from the tournament , DePaul moved on to face No. 14 Creighton in the quarterfinals the next day
