There hasn’t been a Georgetown-Syracuse game played in the Carrier Dome with the stakes this high for a long time. It is possible that this meeting has the most riding on it of all the regular season games ever played at the Carrier Dome in this rivalry.

With that in mind, let’s take a look back at some of the more memorable Georgetown-Syracuse games played at Syracuse. If you have any memories of games that didn’t make our list, feel free to leave us a comment.

The Hoyas showed what it takes to win down the stretch, turning a five point game with under seven minutes left into an eighteen point blow-out five minutes later, led in large part by a strong performance from Patrick Ewing Jr. The only glaring problem with Georgetown’s play on Saturday was the season high 21 turnovers. The Hoyas have a history of struggling against full-court pressure, and although they limited the turnovers in the second half, two more came off the press near the end of the game.
