A heavyweight fighter

 

 

Would he like to see the rivalry continue? “Mark and I will talk,” JT3 said. “We’ll see.”

Turgeon noted that “we’ve been on the lucky side the last two years. At the eight-minute timeout, both years they’ve been up six or eight and we’ve been able somehow to win the game.”

Would he like to make the matchup a regular occurrence? “I think it’s been great for the area,” Turgeon said. “It’s been fantastic. … JT and I, whatever we talk about, it’s going to be in private, and we’ll do that in the future I’m sure.”

At the very least, they should re-up cheap NFL jerseys for the just-concluded home-and-home as part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games, which pits Big Ten and Big East teams.

The inter-conference series is scheduled to be played annually the first week of each season until 2022. If Thompson and Turgeon don’t want their teams to knock heads another six times, a couple more shouldn’t be too much to ask.

Coaches’ reluctance to wholesale NFL jerseys face a steak instead of a cupcake this early is becoming passé. November tournaments routinely present a smorgasbord of heavyweights doing battle. Tuesday featured No. 1 Duke vs. No. 7 Kansas and No. 2 Kentucky vs. No. 13 Michigan State in the State Farm Champions Classic. No. 3 Villanova and No. 15 Purdue squared off Monday in a Gavitt Tipoff clash. Top 25 teams Rhode Island and Cincinnati play each other this weekend in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame Tipoff.

Granted, Maryland-Georgetown has more emotional juice than your average non-conference game between traditional powers. They might not be in the midst of simultaneous upswings each time they play — in fact, Tuesday marked the first time since 1970 neither program was ranked entering a meeting — Oakland Raiders jerseys but being just 12 miles apart ratchets up the intensity to conference-rival levels.

Bitter rivals like Georgetown-Syracuse (and Maryland-Duke in the old ACC days) typically don’t play until the end of December or later. When you add proximity to emotion — like Cincinnati-Xavier — showdowns can be delayed further: Two seasons ago, the Bearcats and Musketeers met on Feb. 18.

Ideally, as Thompson said, Terps-Hoyas wouldn’t be a fixture every year cheap jerseys before the season barely gets underway. The Gavitt games have been a great vehicle to resurrect the contest, but the coaches should take over from here.

And, even though Verizon Center works a bit against Georgetown in a home-and-home situation, this rivalry should become a non-negotiable part of each school’s annual schedule. The impact on college basketball in this area is too great to bypass. “That’s down the road,” Turgeon said about possibly continuing the series.

Fine. Just make sure the road doesn’t end short wholesale jerseys of the mark.
