In his first Big East tournament game, Billy Garrett Jr. showed off the poise and playmaking that made him the conference's rookie of the year. The freshman point guard scored 17 points, including the clinching free throws, and DePaul surprised Georgetown 60-56 on Wednesday night for only its second victory at the Big East tournament. ''I'm proud of them, but we want to stay longer,'' DePaul coach Oliver Purnell said. ''We've got absolutely nothing to lose.'' Forrest Robinson snapped a second-half tie with consecutive 3-pointers and had 14 points for the 10th-seeded Blue Demons (12-20), who finished in last place during the regular season.
