A loss for either team could easily result in an NIT appearance. Both teams will be desperate to avoid such a fate. With that in mind, let’s take a look back at some of the more memorable Georgetown-Syracuse games played at Syracuse.

Let’s admit it, the Hoyas got a little lucky against West Virginia. Patrick Ewing, Jr. made a phenomenal play to block the shot at the buzzer, but it was very close to being a goal tend, and at home the call could have very easily favored the Mountaineers.

Think back on all of the bad bounces, wrong calls, and tough breaks that have gone against Georgetown in the past seasons. It’s not pleasant, but since the refs might have let the Hoyas get away with one, let’s re-visit some of the worst calls that ever went against the Hoyas (last 10 seasons only).
