WHAT’S AT STAKE
Georgetown: Well it’s just Game No. 2 but it’s important for the Hoyas to take care of business and do the obvious by beating the teams they are supposed to beat. Thomas Sorber and Micah Peavy have a chance to land themselves on the first Big East Honor Roll after dynamite debuts on Wednesday. Coach Ed Cooley would like to see his team’s defense improve upon the ‘D’ grade he handed out after the Lehigh win mid week.
Fairfield: Coach Chris Casey guided the Stags to an impressive mark of 24-13 (14-6!) last year after switching schools within the MAAC. His reward in the portal era is of course having to replace many key players. Opening night didn’t go so well as Fairfield lost by 38 at Rhode Island. The Stags last beat a major opponent on Dec. 1, 2019 when they upset Texas A&M and Buzz Williams.
Honoring our history and building toward the future. Excited to welcome back the NCAA Championship 1984 team in the David & Gretchen Welch Gym!#HoyaSaxa pic.twitter.com/vc3rJS1vd4

NOTES
The 1984 National Champion Georgetown Hoyas will be honored at Saturday’s game. Last night there was a dinner on campus to celebrate the 40 year anniversary….Cooley has coached on both sidelines in a Georgetown – Providence game (obviously) and now will do the same in a Georgetown – Fairfield contest. The last Hoyas – Stags series was a three-game set where Georgetown actually visited Fairfield once. Cooley coached in two of those games, both Hoya wins.
