THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
The Georgetown Hoyas played the Syracuse Orange in the 95th edition of this historic rivalry, and it did not disappoint. Despite a slow start that saw the Hoyas go over three minutes without getting on the board, the good guys overcame a ten point halftime deficit to vanquish the evil empire from upstate NY.
Both teams traded buckets for most of the first half, but a few costly turnovers and missed shots by the Hoyas, led to a 21-16 lead for the Orange at the halfway mark of the first period.
