It’s time for the weekly DCist sports roundup, the games we think you should check out.
TUESDAY
Hopefully you’ll be voting, as today is a bit of a sports dead zone. If you happen to get Connecticut Public Television (who doesn’t!?) you can see the Georgetown women’s hoops team face off against #2 UConn. The Hoyas are 13-9 and 3-6 in the Big East, so this would be a huge win.
WEDNESDAY
There’s a lot of good away games (Wiz vs Clippers, Caps vs Thrashers, Terps vs. #3 Duke, GMU vs. Towson, GW vs. SLU, #14 GW women vs. UMass) but the only home game in our area is Patriot League-leading American versus Bucknell. The Eagles are 14-10 and 6-3 in conference, with their best shot to make the NCAAs in years, and Bucknell is not far behind at 5-4 in conference. The Tenleytowners are on a three game winning streak, having beaten Lafayette, Lehigh, and Holy Cross, and look to make it four. Bender Arena is a nice stadium and Garrison Carr is a nasty shooter (17.9 points, 4.1 threes on 45% shooting per game). Tip off is at 7:30 p.m.
THURSDAY
The #4 Maryland Terrapin women have been rolling over the competition, going 25-2 and 9-1 in the strong ACC, their only conference loss to #3 UNC. The Terps are 5-2 against ranked teams (their only other loss was to #5 Rutgers). They face Boston College on Thursday at the Comcast Center, where they recently topped Virginia by 6. With four players scoring at least 14 points per game, the Terps have a hydra of an offense, and should be a great game. Tip off is at 7.
