Box Score

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) - Gerald Riley scored 35 points, including seven in overtime, to lead Georgetown to an 87-80 overtime win over Miami on Saturday night.

Riley was 13-of-17 from the field and scored the most points by an individual player against Miami since Georgetown's Allen Iverson scored 38 on March 7, 1996.

Darius Rice scored 20 points for Miami, his biggest shot coming on a late three-pointer that sent the game into overtime. Riley, however, scored seven quick points in overtime to give Georgetown (12-5, 3-4 Big East) just its second win in seven games.

Guillermo Diaz also had 20 points to help lead the Hurricanes (13-8, 3-4).

Down for most of the second half, Georgetown eventually pulled to within 68-67 on a three-point play by Bowman with just under three minutes left in the game, then took the lead on a dunk by Darrel Owens.

A Ray Reed layup with 24 seconds left gave Georgetown a 73-70 advantage before Rice's three-pointer from the top of the key sent the game into overtime.
