Georgetown's basketball team paid a brief visit to New York City last weekend. The Hoyas stayed for one game with LSU and Pete Maravich and lost it, 83-82. One game, one de­ feat and the NIT was over for Jack Magee's band of un­ knowns. It will remain the most memorable game the Hoyas have played in quite a long time. Most teams who lose in the opening round are soon forgotten if they aren't nationally­ known and the defeat wasn't supposed to happen. Georgetown came into the tournament and the game unheralded and ig­ nored in the big city and after it was over, the apologists for Pete Maravich came out of the woodwork. LSU didn't command that much press space before the game in New York's three dailies. The team, that is; but Pistol Pete did.

What's so ~~ecial about It was, nevertheless, a well-coached defensive effort against Maravich. Pistol Pete was supposed to score anywhere from 50 to 90 points. He scored 20, nearly the lowest of his career. UCLA, whom Maravich considers akin to a pro outfit, couldn't Beechwood Ageing? hold him below 30. Kentucky held him to 55.
