It’s What the People Want

By Hoya Hoops

Georgetown University is 12 miles away from the University of Maryland, but the two schools have been separated by more than miles when it comes to playing each other during the regular season. Now, 850 miles south of the nation’s capital, the Hoyas and the Terps are ready to meet for only the third time since the 1980 NCAA Tournament semifinal. Supporters of both programs have always clamored to have the two teams play more often, and now at last, the fans have what they want every season, a head to head meeting. The two best teams in the Metro area will meet in the Third Place game of the Old Spice Classic, but as far as basketball fans in the Baltimore-Washington area are concerned the only game that matters is the consolation game. The loser will collect their second loss in a row, the winner will return home with a 2-1 record from the tournament in Orlando, but more importantly will hold the bragging rights until the next time the teams meet, which most likely will not be any time soon.
