Hoyas Collapse Late As Terps Celebrate
WASHINGTON -- Who knows when or if Georgetown and Maryland will continue their renewed head-to-head series. History says don't hold your breath. Then again, Tuesday's matchup at Verizon Center was the first time the schools met in consecutive years since the 1970's. Perhaps they keep this going next year whether in the Gavitt Tipoff Games or not.
If so, maybe the Hoyas will have finally gotten over the pain of a devastating collapse.
After L.J. Peak fueled what looked like a game-determining spurt, Georgetown led the foul-plagued game by nine points with 4:25 remaining. The Blue and Gray faithful could taste victory.
Bile showed up instead.
