At Georgetown Saturday Maryland Terrapins fell 80 to 49 to the Hoyas in a Washington area championship battle. The loss marked Maryland's worst defeat against the city trio and renewed calls to oust H A Bud Millikan amid criticism of recruiting and height limitations. Millikan has faced long-standing scrutiny over his style and ability to recruit top Washington area talent, with past uproars over 1962 ACC tourney losses and campus effigies.
