The Terps lead the all-time series against the Hoyas, 38-27. Their first matchup occurred in 1911, but the teams haven’t met since 2016. In that most recent game, the Terps defeated Georgetown, 76-75, thanks to a fast break and two good free throws by Melo Trimble.

The Nov. 7 contest will kick off a four-game series between the schools that will continue through 2029, with the teams alternating hosting.
