You gotta love great college basketball matchups pre-Thanksgiving. Last night we were treated not only to a top 10 clash between Duke and Kansas, but an even better contest between two of our local teams rekindling an old rivalry at the Verizon Center.

So neither Maryland nor Georgetown is in the top 25. Who cares. Play like they did last night and they will be. They were two teams who lived up to the moment, even if the moment preceded Thanksgiving by a week and a half.

Turkeys got nothin’ a little DMV bragging rights.
