Although Georgetown are unranked and have three losses, this game loses none of it’s competitive edge. These are two bitter rivals who have hated each other since the early 1980’s. This isn’t some new rivalry like Syracuse vs. Duke, where we sit and laugh and sip martinis. No. This is flipping Georgetown. You scream, you yell at the refs, you curse the name Thompson under your breath, you drink cheap beer and like it.
This is the type of game that can become a catalyst for a team down the stretch. It’s where a team can find an identity and put an exclamation point on the early part of their season.
