LAHAINA, Hawaii -- Georgetown was at its best in the first half, playing aggressive defense, feeding the hot hand of Rodney Pryor.The Hoyas were at their worst to start the second half, failing stops or shots to drop.Rather than folding, as they had in the past, the Hoyas gritted out a victory over a tough opponent.Pryor had 26 points and 10 rebounds, and Georgetown withstd a furious second-half rally to hold on for a 65-61 victory over No. 13 Oregon on Monday in the first round of the Maui Invitational.In the second half they came out and threw some blows, said Pryor, who had 18 points by halftime. We didnt get early stops that we needed and they got back into the game. But then we were able to take a deep breath, get some stops and get some baskets.Georgetown (1-2) led by 17 after a superb first half, capped by Pryors running 3-pointer at the buzzer. The Ducks (2-2) swarmed their way back, using pressure defense to create turnovers and easy baskets in transition.Unlike their loss to Maryland last week, the Hoyas weathered the Duck storm and will advance to the second round against No. 16 Wisconsin.LJ Peak added 17 points and hit two free throws with 2.7 seconds left to seal Georgetowns victory.Our guys did a gd job not getting dejected and refocusing, Hoyas coach John Thompson III said.Oregon struggled the entire first half despite having leader Dillon Brks in the lineup for the first time this season. The Ducks clawed their way back behind pressure defense, though didnt have enough to finish it off.Payton Pritchard led Oregon with 18 points. Brks had eight points, including a long 3-pointer with 3.8 seconds left to get the Ducks within 2.As great a comeback as it was, we werent tough enough to finish it, Oregon coach Dana Altman said.Brks didnt play in Oregons first three games while recovering from offseason ft surgery and Altman said he would limit the preseason All-Americans minutes in Maui.Brks entered Mondays game about five minutes in with the Ducks struggling.He didnt do much to help them.Oregon needed six minutes to hit its first field goal and kept missing shots, going 7 for 29 from the flr in the first half. Brks was 0 for 3 and did not score.The Hoyas had their own problems early, but rallied behind Pryor. He hit two step-back 3-pointers late in the first half and closed it with a running, off-balance 3 at the buzzer to put Georgetown up 38-21.Give them credit. They came out fast and we made some mistakes at the start of the game, so we have to limit those, Oregon guard Casey Benson said.Second half, roles reversed.After solving Oregons extended pressure defense in the first half, the Hoyas couldnt shake it in the second.Georgetown missed its first 12 shots and the Ducks went on a 22-4 run to go up by one.Georgetown fought back, turning up its defensive pressure and used a 10-2 run to go up 53-45 with 3 minutes leftOregon tried to make a late run, but came up short.BIG PICTUREThe Hoyas showed off their inconsistencies in yet another game, but found a win to win this one after losing the previous two.The Ducks got their leader back, but still have plenty of work to do if theyre going to live up to the high preseason expectations. Perimeter shting is a concern; Oregon went 4 for 17 from the 3-point arc after hitting 3 of 21 in a loss to Baylor.POLL IMPLICATIONSDepending on what happens the next two days in Maui, the Ducks could be lking at a precipitous fall in the poll, possibly even out of it altogether.BRKS RETURNAltman stuck to his plan to limited Brks minutes, only giving him 13 against the Hoyas. Brks was superb on the defensive end, particularly on the press in the second half, and finishing 3 of 8 shting.We held him to the 10 to 15 minutes that we thought wed play him, Altman said. And he was mad because he wanted to play more.UP NEXTGeorgetown will face No. 16 Wisconsin in Tuesdays winners bracket.Oregon faces Tennessee in the losers bracket on Tuesday.Discount Nike Free Shoes .

He characterized there being an ongoing investigation but said he didnt really know what was going on.Prosecutors in Ohio declined to press charges over the summer in a domestic violence case involving the fourth overall draft pick. In September, when Ohio officials decided not to file criminal charges, the Columbus city attorneys office cited conflicting and inconsistent information in evidence.A police report said Elliott, who played at Ohio State, denied allegations that he assaulted the woman in July, causing bruises and abrasions. Three witnesses told police they didnt see Elliott assault the 20-year-old woman. Elliott said the woman got the bruises and abrasions in a bar fight.After the win Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones sounded confident Elliott would not be penalized by the league. However, that was before this report.People that have a lot more information than I have have given him a total clean bbill of health, Jones said.ddddddddddddI do know that all the real information that anybody has is that he doesnt have an issue.Jones acknowledged having a conversation with Lisa Friel, who serves as special counsel to the NFL involving personal conduct issues, at the recent owners meetings in Houston. He called it a gd discussion, and said it might have gotten loud because, I was having to talk over the music.Jones position is that time has elapsed since the incident and Elliott will not face any legal repercussions in Ohio. The NFL does not require the same burden of prf in its personal conduct policy. A player does not have to be charged in the legal system to have run afoul of the policy.I dont know that the NFL has a closure, has a situation where theyve cut it close, which could be a frailty of the system, Jones said after the Eagles game. As you know in law, one of the things in the Constitution is that not only are you innocent before proven guilty, you get quick addressing and then you dont get it drawn out. It has certain time frames and has a lot of economic limitations. So we have to, in my mind, just make sure that we inject that in the type of lking for information that we do in the NFL. But law has many, if you will a couple 100 years at least, working on through how you basically create some time frames, create how its initiated, create what the circumstances are about. And several which pertain to the NFL and companies, they dont necessarily have to go by that. We have a different deal though. Were so public and our issues are so public that we dont afford some of the things for some of the players, other people involved in the NFL, that the law does.ESPN Cowboys reporter Todd Archer contributed to this report.
