what a game! >> a great game in college park. a shame these two teams don't play every single year. we need this. 2008 was the last time maryland and georgetown faced each other. for local college basketball fans, tonight's game was definitely worth the wait. the two programs did not disappoint. terps and hoyas went toe-to-toe from start to finish and maryland held off the upset, a friendly game in college park.

check this one out, a great crowd, fans were pumped up, ready to go. third seeded maryland got off to a slow start. georgetown, they came out strong but how about the terps here. the steal and throws it up to his teammate, carter, jr. for the flush. tied, 33 half time in this game. second half, georgetown up to the senior bradley hayes making this shot and copeland cleans up this mess, 13 points for the sophomore. hoyas up by 4. a few minutes later, georgetown trying to pull way. the freshman, marcus dickerson had himself a game. 13 points, the local kid from bowie high school. hoyas up 5 at the half. doing what star players do, knocking down big-time shots, the xfinity center going crazy. tied at 61 later on. that was a big-time three-poi

three-pointer and, yes, maryland, they go on to win this game by a final score of 75-71. the great thing about this game tonight in college park, we're going to see it again next year between these two teams. hopefully after that we can get to sign a long term deal. let's move on to talk about the pros for a moment. wizards have looked like a completely different team since randy wittman called this group soft last week. since those comments, two impressive wins for the wiz kids. that's otto porter, jr. having an outstanding season for wizards so far this year. second quarter, wiz down one, 19 points for him. wizards lead it by a point. later in the quarter, the fast break, gives it up to jared dudley against his former team, 14 points off the bench.

what doing what he does, blowing by everybody, an easy lineup right thelineup -- layup there. wizards start to run away with this thing and porter hurt his ankle but his team got the win, 115-86. 115-86. >> nothing soft about that. [ female announcer ] business travel isn't just about the going.
