With four seconds to play, Marcus Derrickson hit a long 3-pointer while being fouled to the ground to beat the shot clock and deliver Georgetown an 83-80 win over Seton Hall on Saturday in Washington.
Derrickson, a junior forward from Bowie, Maryland, carried the team with 22 points and 18 rebounds and this heroic final shot that sealed the deal:

On the possession before that, Derrickson attempted a 3-pointer that would have put Georgetown up one point, but it was blocked. He retrieved it and tied the game with a lay-up.
The Hoyas ended a four-game losing streak by beating a team that was ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 for much of the year. Georgetown is now 14-10 (4-9 Big East) with five regular season games to play. Seton Hall fell to 17-8 (6-6 Big East).
