As a Georgetown fan, I’ve been pretty geeked up for Saturday’s home game against Duke. The Hoyas have been coming together recently (notwithstanding the beatdown Syracuse administered on Monday), and the Verizon Center is a whole other beast when it sells out; there’s actually atmosphere. Oh, and beating Duke is pretty sweet too.

While the former Rockets standout will (inexplicably) be at the Georgetown-Duke game, The Hill reports that a certain roundball-loving president will also be in tow for the clash of top ten teams (hint: it’s Barack Obama).
