Oh, it's a delicious day for college hoops fans across the country. Today's big game of local intrigue? Georgetown, fresh off Wednesday's huge 88-74 victory over #8 Syracuse which brought them to 3-2 in Big East play, take a trip down Tobacco Road to Cameron Indoor Stadium for a show-down with #3 Duke -- arguably the marquee matchup on a Saturday which features five games between top 20 teams. The Blue Devils (15-1) come into the game boasting an impressive 67-game home winning streak against nonconference opposition, but the Hoyas (12-3) will likely serve as the stiffest test Duke has seen all year. It also serves as a minor barometer for comparison between the Big East and ACC, without question the country's two strongest conferences. The outcome will depend on which Georgetown team shows up in Krzyzewskiville: the tenacious squad who nearly ran the 'Cuse out of the gym and knocked off Connecticut in their house; or the lackluster, frustrated enigma which surfaced in the losses against Pitt and Notre Dame. Tipoff is at 1:30 on CBS -- it should be a dandy. more ›

Or is the real AU the team that knocked off the Maryland Terps and gave Atlantic 10 contender Dayton U a game on the road? more ›
