—Just imagine if I was able to transport myself from right now to some date in the past when the Syracuse-Georgetown basketball rivalry was at its peak and tell you that one day the Hoyas would get the best of the Orange using a zone defense. Adding that Syracuse is a football town now with a basketball problem (and you’ll never guess who is President!..



.again) would surely prompt you to slide away from me slowly but surely. More Orange Basketball Saturday’s Syracuse-Georgetown game was third worst-attended game in rivalry at JMA Dome Syracuse-Georgetown delivers extra even with 2 down programs: ‘I want to play this game each and every year’ Georgetown goes zone to beat Syracuse: ‘Coach Boeheim is either clapping or cussing me out’ Paint problems cost Syracuse against Georgetown in 100th meeting of old rivals: (Axe’s quick takes) Georgetown’s late surge lifts Hoyas over Syracuse at JMA Dome.
