It was a battle in Hartford, reminiscent of those in the past, and in the end, the home team came out on top.
Georgetown and UConn have had their fair share of classic bouts against each other in the past. The greats have been along for the ride: Ray Allen, Rip Hamilton, Allen Iverson, Ben Gordon, Emeka Okafor, Roy Hibbert, Jeff Green, Greg Monroe amongst a slew of others. It was, perhaps, one of the best modern BIG EAST rivalries and a stir would always seem to erupt in Storrs, Hartford or Washington D.C. whenever the two teams squared off.
