  "account": "College Park, Maryland - November 7, 2025 - Georgetown Hoyas and Maryland Terrapins face off in Game 2 of their season-opening matchup, with both teams entering the series at 1-0. The game is scheduled for Saturday at 7:30 PM at Capital One Arena, with coverage on Peacock, NBC Sports YouTube Channel, Bloomberg 99.1, and Sirius XM 964. Prior to tip-off, fans are urged to attend and create an electric atmosphere for the Hoyas.\n\nThe contest marks the seventh meeting since 1980, with Georgetown trailing 38-30 overall but leading 17-14 at home. The teams have a storied rivalry that dates back to the Lefty Driesell-John Thompson Jr. feud and Duane Simpkins' 1993 clutch shot.\n\nHead coach Ed Cooley acknowledges that the rivalry is in its infancy but believes it has the potential to grow given the proximity of the institutions. Georgetown aims to break their two-game losing streak to the Terps, which lasted until last season's victory. KenPom ranks Maryland as the 52nd team and Georgetown as the 84th, giving Maryland a 55% chance of winning with a predicted score of 74-73.\n\nAccording to the DraftKings line, Georgetown is favored by 2.5 points, with a moneyline of +130. The game's significance extends beyond local bragging rights, as a strong showing could boost the teams' resumes heading into March. Georgetown's head coach also emphasizes the importance of home-court advantage, as the Hoyas play in one of the largest arenas in college basketball.",
