Three days later, Georgetown took part in the annual Gavitt Tipoff Games, a series of eight games per year between teams of the Big East Conference and Big Ten Conference. For the second straight year, Georgetown drew Maryland as its Big Ten opponent, hosting the Terrapins at the Verizon Center – the first time the Hoyas had hosted the Terrapins since 1993. The Hoyas made 37 of their 42 free throws but blew a 68–59 lead with 2:21 remaining as Maryland went on a 17–7 scoring run the rest of the way to win the game, 76–75, defeating Georgetown for the second season in a row. Maryland's players stormed the court to celebrate the victory. Scoring 21 points, L. J. Peak led a balanced Georgetown attack which also saw Rodney Pryor score 14 points, Isaac Copeland finish with a double-double (13 points and 13 rebounds), and Jesse Govan add 12 points.
