2012–13 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Based on tiebreaking criteria, Georgetown was seeded first in the 2013 Big East Tournament, its first No. 1 seed in the tournament since 2008. The high seed gave the Hoyas a double bye, and they did not begin play until the quarterfinals, in which they met ninth-seeded Cincinnati, which had upset eighth-seeded Providence the day before to advance to meet Georgetown. The Hoyas pulled ahead to a 24-8 lead in the first half before the Bearcats began a comeback, outscoring Georgetown 16-5 during the remainder of the half, closing to a 29-24 deficit at halftime. Cincinnati then began the second half with a 9-2 scoring run that gave them a 33-31 lead, their first lead since the first few minutes of the game. Nate Lubick hit a baseline hook to tie the score at 31-31, and then D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera led a scoring surge that combined with the characteristically strong Hoya defense for a 22-6 Georgetown run, giving the Hoyas a 53-39 lead with 3:30 to play. Georgetown continued to pull away to win 62-43. The Bearcats shot only 14-for-38 (36.8%) from the field and committed 15 turnovers. Otto Porter shot only 3-for-9 from the field but made all 11 of his free throws – most of them in the final minutes – to finish with a game-high 18 points, Markel Starks had 14, and Smith-Rivera finished with 13.
