georgetown at verizon. no syracuse, no problem. georgetown held their court. we will give you a recap. better to be andrew luck than >> we need the playoffs to remind us all that a game is not over until it is over. leave it to the nfl to remind us why andrew luck was the overall number one pick. alex smith takes the handoff and throws away deep to donovan avery. he takes it all the way in. chiefs.-7, the throw to davis for the touchdown. to not count out the colts. do not count out andrew luck. they come back. fourth quarter, brown fumbles at the goal line. andrew luck picks it up and runs it in for the touchdown. late in the fourth, we are still not done. luck fires. deep to t.y. hilton. win 45-34. it is the second-largest comeback in nfl playoff history. to the redskins, they are in search mode for the next head coach. they are set to interview james franklin and jim caldwell in the next couple of days. today, they met with the panthers defensive coordinator. north dakota state. a big powerhouse. takes the handoff and keeps it himself for a nine-yard td. th

johns, quickly became obvious georgetown would walk away with the victory.but just how bad would it be? the largest margin of victory in this series was in 1920, when the hoyas won by 36. today, they flirted with that number. up 12 in the first, smith- rivera with the block, and the bucket and the extra point. hoyas continue their hot shooting. smith-rivera from long range, had 31 points on the day, 20 of them in the first half. in the second, hoyas up 29. hopkins finds joshua smith for the dunk. georgetown led by as much as 33 at one point. starkes, the only other hoya in double digits. georgetown rolls 77-60, the final. >>> to a game with an almost identical score, maryland hosting georgia tech, get to that game, there we go. terps and things up early with a nasty dunk from dez wells, 11 points on the day. then to close out the first half, second leading scorer. terps get the generous bounce, led by 14 at one point. the guy with the hot hand today, nick faust led all scorers with 16. in all, maryland had 16 assists, six turnovers to beat the yellowjackets

rivera led georgetown with 19 points. actually went into half time down five and could get nothing going afterwards. 15 turnovers tonight for georgetown, just seven assists. providence snaps a nine-game losing streak against georgetown winning 70-52. >>> as the days go on, more and more names emerge as potential head coaching candidates for the washington redskins. we reported earlier that the team would meet with vanderbilt head coach james franklin tomorrow. that's still unconfirmed. so that interview may not happen. what we do know is that the redskins had met with four coaches at redskins park. the latest happening tonight, the team hosting jay gruden, who's considered front runner, but the washington post reported he may prefer a job with the tennessee titans but may get an offer from dan snyder that will be hard to refuse. >>> they always say hindsight is 2020. when you look back on this redskins season, i'm sure each of us has opinions of what could be done differently or if different decisions had been made. today

the author, georgetown law professor paul butler. professor butler, what's a hip-hop theory of justice? >> guest: a hip-hop theory of justice isyou listen to hip-hop -- if you listen to hip-hop, you're reminded that there are two and a half million people locked up. you can watch all these reality shows about real housewives and all these movies about vampires and the hobbits, and you'll never know that we lock up more people in the united states than any country in the history of world. you can't listen to urban radio more than 30 minutes without being reminded of that fact. there are constant shoutouts in hip-hop culture to brothers and sisters when are away -- who are away, who are locked up, who we're not supposed to think about, who hip-hop doesn't let us forget. so it's anything from kendrick lamar wondering why of all the devastating drugs -- and to him the worst is alcohol, he's got this song called drink which is about the devastation and the fun of being drunk -- people wondering why we lock up people for selling weed. wiel
