JTIII will look for big three to step up against Duke
In head coach John Thompson III’s six seasons at Georgetown, the Duke Blue Devils have emerged as the Hoyas’ preeminent non-conference rival. The budding feud dates back to Thompson’s first meeting with the Blue Devils in 2006, when an unranked Georgetown squad toppled then-No. 1 Duke, announcing their return to the national scene. Two subsequent meetings resulted in Hoya losses, including a 76-67 defeat in Durham last season that kicked off an epic collapse.
