Saturday provides all sorts of significant games for Baltimore-D.C. area teams.
Maryland visits Wake Forest for a noon tip as it tries to nudge its way deeper into the at-large discussion. On the flip side, it would cost a bit more money (rental car, airport parking) to do this game than the others and will require a quick trip back to Raleigh/Durham for a late afternoon flight.
George Mason travels to Delaware for a game that could still determine the No. 2 seed in the CAA tournament. It could also have no bearing on seeding at all.
Atlantic 10 leader Saint Louis visits George Washington at 4 p.m., and a win would solidify the Colonials' place in the conference tournament.
Meanwhile, Towson plays its final game at the Towson Center and last game of the season when it welcomes struggling Hofstra to the Baltimore 'burbs.
Regardless of which of those games gets visited, Rutgers-Georgetown at Verizon Center will be the second game of the day at 9 p.m.
So, what game should D1scourse cover on Saturday? Votes will be taken through Thursday Wednesday (a day earlier for planning purposes).

Why would you have to fly to Wake Forest?

I already had a flight booked before things unfolded last month. And I just don't have 12 hours of driving in me to go see that particular game.

Ah. Gotcha. Still sounds like a huge pain, but if you're already booked the flight, you're kinda forced into that trip, no?

Not exactly. It's on Southwest, so that money could be used down the road at some point.

Oh, nice. Well, anyway, I vote for Mason. You never know when Sherrod Wright will hit a 30-footer at the buzzer for the win! Either way, travel safe.

I got a photo cred for GW-Saint Louis so I voted for that game. Hope to see you there Patrick.

Hubby and I went to Saint Louis at George Washington (4 p.m.). It was such a fun time. I loved the game!
