Georgetown coach Ed Cooley on the Hoyas' 83-70 victory: "I thought we played for 11 minutes. If the game was 11 minutes, I'd be really, really happy. ... We want to get better every single time, and I thought we got better today for 11 minutes when we came out of the locker room [after half]."

Georgetown (2-0) back home after its first victory at Maryland since 1964. Binghamton (1-2) pays a visit to the District and will face the Hoyas for the first time.

A partial sellout is expected as Maryland (1-1) looks to bounce back from its Friday night loss to Georgetown. Alcorn State (0-3), playing its fourth game in eight days, comes to town for the third year in a row.

Another weekend of college football is in full swing. @d1scourse.bsky.social is here to break it down.
Indiana and Texas Tech stayed in the hunt for spots in their conference title games, while Deion Sanders and Colorado secured a losing record for the season.

Analysis | College football winners and losers: The catch of the year saves Indiana
Omar Cooper Jr. made an acrobatic catch in the end zone with 36 seconds left, and the Hoosiers stayed unbeaten with a 27-24 victory over Penn State.

"Andalusian Iverson" is a thoroughly stupendous construction.
If Buzz wins this game with the Andalusian Iverson starting, time to start carving the statue.

So a bit of a programming note that wasn't worth mentioning until someone brought it up.
Because of how repetitive this is going to be early, the #MarylandScoringList will be on hiatus until sometime in December. Haven't decided when, but probably not until at least one guy is up around 150 points.

It's going to be an interesting year to do the career Maryland scoring list tracker postgames you've done before if you plan to do them this year. A LOT of low numbers with a basically all-new roster.
