Thirty years ago, Maryland’s epic win over Georgetown changed everything

On Nov. 26, 1993, the Georgetown and Maryland men’s basketball teams met for the first time in 13 years in a nationally televised season-opening game at USAir Arena.

With 13 seconds remaining in overtime and Maryland trailing the 15th-ranked Hoyas by one, Terrapins sophomore guard Duane Simpkins penetrated into the lane and lofted a floater over the outstretched hand of Georgetown forward Don Reid.
