Patrick Ewing played at Georgetown from 1981 to 1985 and in his career Ewing went up against Syracuse a total of 11 times. Syracuse went 4-7 against Georgetown's Ewing-led teams.
On Saturday, Ewing will lead the Hoyas against Syracuse once again, only this time as Georgetown's head coach. Georgetown will host Syracuse at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. at 12:30 p.m. (The game will be televised on CBS).
When he walks down the sideline to shake hands with Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, Ewing will join an impressive list of people who have both played and coached against Sryacuse's Hall of Fame coach.
