PrintResume comparison: Maryland vs. Georgetown
Pretend you’re an NCAA tournament selection committee member and there is one No. 4 seed slot left on the board. You are looking at Maryland and Georgetown. Which team gets your vote? (All records reflect games only against Division I teams)
Maryland (22-7)
RPI: 19
SOS: 21
Nonconference RPI: 159
Vs. top 25: 1-3
Vs. top 50: 6-5
Vs. 200 or worse: 7-0
Best wins: Duke, Clemson
Worst losses: William & Mary, CincinnatiGeorgetown (20-9)
RPI: 16
SOS: 1
Nonconference SOS: 8
Vs. top 25: 5-4
Vs. top 50: 6-5
Vs. 200 or worse: 5-0
Best wins: Duke, Villanova, Butler, Temple
Worst losses: South Florida, at RutgersThe only advantages Maryland has over Georgetown in my mind are 1) Maryland does not have a loss like the Rutgers loss and 2) Maryland is unquestionably the hotter team right now. Because the selection committee is supposed to put less weight on your record in the last 12 games this season, I am not going to place as much weight on that component.
So the Hoyas get my vote. Five wins against top 25 teams? Very impressive. The nation’s top-ranked schedule? Also impressive.
I’d give both teams No. 4 seeds today. But if there were only one slot left, I’d hand it to the Hoyas.
Agree or disagree?
I agree.
Stay Casual, my friends.

yeah seeing this side by side...
we are undoubtedly stronger
I can have oodles of charm when I want to.
Fair enough
Who would argue with Maryland playing Gtown during the regular season to actually claim the throne?

Even though Maryland has like 10 times as many alumni
I would love to play them every year, would be a great rivalry

F playing a comcast
play at verizon, distribute the tickets 50/50 to each team, suck it up williams.
Plus add at Pitt and Cuse to best wins.
We crushed Duke and Cincy, Terps got run at home by Cincy, got run at cameron and barely got by dukies at home. And we ran MD by 20 something last year with essentially the same squads (minus jordan williams).
We should be the higher seed.

High fives only on three pointers.

I had heard the opposite
High fives only on three pointers.

when we last played them
in 1993 it was old us air, but maryland put more fans in attendance, and we lost. JTII refused to play another local shool after that. JTIII is willing to play the terps at verizon, but Gary still insists we owe them a home game at comcast first.
No way we should go to comcast b/c we would have a hard enough time keep verizon from being 2/3 md fans. So until Gary goes or we suck it up to go to comcast, we never get to meet up.

Who cares
They are a second rate ACC team. Much rather spend OOC games on actual talent.
It's not you, it's me.
mainly I am sick of the terps fans
that have crawled out of the woodwork with their regular season ACC co-champs crap.
I also think it would be a great event – make it annual tradition, all the DC area recuirts would show give the hoyas a great showcase.

Gary demands two games at comcast
1 to make up the home/home at cap center. the other to start a new home/home.
ticket sales from the us air game were split 50/50 and maryland wore home uniforms.
IT WAS A NEUTRAL SITE GAME
gary is full of it
Good talk.

50/50 split
Gary’s demand of a return game at Comcast is a show. As Hire Esherick said the 93 cap center game was a 50/50 ticket split – my dad and I were displaced from our usual season tickets and sent up to the nosebleeds.
Gary knows what the ticket split was in 1993. If he really thought he was owed a game at Comcast, he knows it should be the same 50/50 ticket split. Of course he’d never offer that because JTIII would accept and we’d wipe the floor with them in front of a split crowd on his own court. Gary doesn’t really want the game.
Location, location, location
I see no reason why we can’t play at Verizon. It would basically be a neutral site game. Home-and-home would not be a true home-and-home so why would we ever agree to that?
If he really wants to play at Comcast, I wouldn’t mind agreeing to a 3-game series: two neutral games at Verizon (with tickets divided between teams), plus one at Comcast.
Of course, beating them by 20 in Florida last year was probably a little scary for him….
