After a solid win against a frisky Jackson St. team, your Georgetown University Hoyas returned to action to square off against the 293rd ranked Merrimack Warriors (Kenpom). Interestingly, Merrimack actually qualified for the dance last year by winning the Northeast Conference tournament, but due to some technicalities as a new D1 school, the ticket was given to Fairleigh Dickinson. As a #16 seed, Fairleigh Dickinson would go on to beat the #1 seeded Purdue Boilermakers in the first round. Coming into this game, the Merrimack Warriors were led by Jordan Derkack, who was averaging 14.5PPG and 6.5REB per game.
