WASHINGTON -- L.J. Peak made two free throws with 7.5 seconds left to help Georgetown thwart Charlotte's second-half rally for an 81-78 win Saturday.

Georgetown built its lead back to 60-44, but the 49ers used another 7-0 run to get to 70-63 and Braxton Ogbueze's back-to-back 3s pulled Charlotte within 77-75 with 3:13 to go.
Keyshawn Woods' basket with 8.6 seconds left pulled Charlotte within 79-78. But Peak's free throws put the Hoyas back up by three and Woods missed a well-defended 3-point attempt in the final second.
