Reggie Spencer had career-high 18 points and nine rebounds, and Scott Eatherton added 12 points and 10 rebounds as Northeastern erased an 11-point halftime deficit and beat Georgetown 63-56 in the first round of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off on Thursday. The Huskies (2-2) trailed by as many as 14 in the first half, but repeatedly outmuscled the Hoyas (1-2) underneath in the closing minutes. D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera led Georgetown with 14 points. The Hoyas seemed to have the game in hand, but struggled from the free-throw line, going just 17 for 28.
