Saturday’s game, scheduled for the pavilion court in Maryland’s Xfinity Center, will feature 18 former Terps and Hoyas, most of whom play overseas. The Maryland team, named “The College Park Boys” is made up of Trimble, Stoglin, Anthony Cowan Jr., Damonte Dodd, Travis Garrison, James Gist, Ekene Ibekwe, Sean Mosley and Byron Mouton. The Georgetown team, known as “DawgTalk,” features Aaron Bowen, Jason Clark, Greg Monroe, Jagan Mosely, Rodney Pryor, Henry Sims, D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera, Greg Whittington and Chris Wright. Each player will receive $2,500 for participating, according to Kareem Rush, the league’s creator. Rush, who played at Missouri and for several NBA teams, came up with the idea when he tried out for the first season of ‘Big3’ and noticed the large turnout at tryouts. He believed there was hidden potential within all the talent just outside the NBA, as most former college stars spent their professional careers far from the fan bases that rooted for them. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/08/03/maryland-georgetown-alumni-basketball-league/

Has anyone seen if this will be "televised" or streamed someplace so people who can't be there in person can watch?

From the Washington Post article I posted: General admission tickets are being sold for $15, and various other VIP options are available. The game will not be televised or live-streamed.

What a missed opportunity for the league and both teams. It should at least be streamed someplace as a pay per view.

I’d say the line is Maryland -6. They seem to have the younger and fresher legs.

Don't know about fresher legs but Hoyas average about 2.4 years younger

In my years of playing younger doesn't always corollate to a "W". You will always need some crusty old veterans on the team to create a balance. Younger in basketball usually means faster but out of control. The group of Hoyas mentioned is pretty formidable with a lot of pro-experience. Should be fun.

The only way this could be better is if it is catered by Wisey's. Welcome home, Hoyas!
