ABOUT THE HOYAS

• This will be the 54th meeting between the Hoyas and the Mountaineers with Georgetown owning the narrow 27-26 advantage.
• The game will renew a rivalry from when West Virginia competed in the BIG EAST Conference as full members from the 1995-96 season through the 2011-12 season.
• The last meeting was part of the Big 12-BIG EAST Battle, a 2020 showdown at McDonough Arena that WVU won 80-71. It was the second-straight contest between the two squads at McDonough as the former rivals faced each other in the 2014 National Invitation Tournament  with the Hoyas taking the 77-65 win. Despite the teams splitting the last two matchups, the Mountaineers have won six of the last seven matchups.
• Georgetown owns a 1-4 record in the Big 12-BIG EAST Battle. The Hoyas defeated Oklahoma State in Stillwater in 2019, before falling to West Virginia (2020, McDonough Arena), TCU (2021, Capital One Arena), Texas Tech (2022, Lubbock) and TCU (2023, Capital One Arena).
