We took a big step toward this today. Only DePaul might stand in our way. We're not going to play 20 games. We should beat DePaul, at least once, probably twice - particularly if Freeman-Liberty is still injured.

Not exactly the same as an 0-20 record but close enough.

So this guy and I were going back and forth about the team getting blown out in games by 20 points by 30 points. And so I asked him, if we were to lose the games by 2 points would that make him happy. As you can guess that was a rhetorical question because like I said to him. Even if we lose by 2 points, he would still be complaining. You guys prove me right yet again. LOL! Can I be wrong for at least once?

It’s entertaining at this point to see you spend so much time here trying to somehow spin what we are seeing into progress. You are on an island. Hope it’s worth it.

There are probably only 2-3 “winnable” games left at this point. At best it’ll be a 2 win BE season. But 0-19 is a real possibility now.

It’s entertaining at this point to see you spend so much time here trying to somehow spin what we are seeing into progress. You are on an island. Hope it’s worth it. I'm not trying to spin nothing. Our team was picked to finish dead last by the prognosticators. I agree with them. Our team lost a key player in Tre King before the season even began. That means we weren't going to be as competitive as the top teams in the league. We lost guys in the beginning of the season due to Covid. This messed up our continuity and forced Patrick to play the high schoolers which gave us even more of a disadvantage and it showed on the court. We have now recovered from Covid and we have our core players back. We are getting better that's why we lost to Villanova in the final ten minutes of the game and to Butler in the final seconds of the game. See the difference? Oh you can't? Well that makes you delusional. You might need to take a vacation to the island and give yourself a break from this game so you won't lose your mind which apparently you are if you can't see that the team is improving.

Context and opponent matters. A 3 point loss to Butler is equally as bad as getting blown out by 20 to UConn. Had we suffered a 2 point loss to UConn, a lot less to complain about.

The most disturbing thing for me is how poorly Butler played—other than taking advantage of defensive lapses to drive the middle. How often can we count on that? I have not seen DePaul but I have a hard time seeing them give us a gift like today.

UConn is a very good team. We lose to them probably ten out of ten times with the personnel they have. We probably lose by double digits most of the time too. Pssst, did you hear that UConn could be a final four team this year?

On the flip side it was statistically tied with the Dartmouth debacle as our worst offensive game.

Losing to a bad Butler team again significantly increases the possibility of a winless Big East season. If GU continues to play man to man in all of the remaining games, it is a certainty that the opponent will have a plentiful amount of wide open 3 point attempts.
For GU to win one of the remaining games: the opponent will need to be ice cold from 3, maybe have some COVID issues, and GU will need to be hot from 3 (which they have been pretty often). Nova, UConn, and maybe a couple others are L’s regardless. There probably will be 1 or 2 wins, but the national media is already attuned to the program’s historically bad season.

I am legitimately concerned that eventually are record is going to impact the current class coming in.
Denver and Bass both seem like great kids and welcomed addition to our roster I just worry they look at this sinking ship and wonder what they may getting themselves into.
Both of the remaining committed would say a lot about both them if you ask me. This is becoming a really tough situation to step into...

Exactly, so a close loss to them where we played good basketball but still lost and there would be a lot fewer complaints. But a close loss to a bad Butler team just says we’re worse.

Need to get the new coach in place ASAP to evaluate them and probably re-recruit them.
