ANALYSIS/OPINION:
The way Tuesday night’s long-awaited matchup between Maryland and Georgetown should have started was to have Lefty Dreisell and John Thompson meet at half court and touch gloves.
There is no Maryland or Georgetown basketball without Driesell or Thompson. There is none of the legend or lore of the cold war between the two schools without the two larger-than-life coaches, who, during a memorable 1979 contest at the D.C. Armory, had words that, according to Thompson, “weren’t anything you could put in a newspaper.”
Time heals all wounds, though.
