This for me is the game that, if we lose, pushes the probability of going 0-20 over 50%. i am willing to take all comers that want to bet on the Hoyas going 0-20 in the Big East regular season. I've got the Hoyas with fewer than 20 losses. Who wants in on this? Name your price. I'm posting every other hour so that I can get my ten post in each day (you know there's only 24 hours in a day, right?). It seems like you're posting every damn 15 minutes or something like that and in every damn post saying the same damn thing for each thread. How many post have you done so far today pal? Is it like 40 or 50 now? What, the ten post a day rule don't apply to you? Holla at me and let me know what it is buddy.

It’s really strange how this guy post all day with his negative nonsense without being reprimanded.

Does Wayne get any minutes? Without having seen him play a minute live … As a former MEAC freshman of the year, that has to put him in the top 5-7 talent wise on the team.

RJ Cole was also MEAC FOY who shot 40% from 3 (as did Bristol) at Howard and always seemed to torch the Hoyas. I hope Bristol gets worked into the rotation.

I assume Ewing's remark about the cavalry not coming after UConn game was just a set up for Bristol's upcoming Jimmy Chitwood-esque 30 pt 6 rb 4 ast 6 for 7 3 pt debut at Hinkle!
The Hoyas have had some great road performances at Hinkle. Let's hope for some hot shooting and some inspired defense from the squad!

Since Greg Malinowski won't be walking through the door at Hinkle, here's hoping Wayne can fill those shoes (Jimmy's -- or Greg's)

Feeling optimistic for this one. We are so due to have a good performance and I think this Butler team is extremely mediocre.
Would love to see a lot more full court press like others have stated. Especially if Bristol is available and Clark is ready to give some decent minutes. Please Ewing...what do we have to lose at this point?
Also would like to see Ewing tinker again with the starting lineup. That is not to take a shot at anyone starting but maybe just to provide a spark and give another look to our opponent out of the gate.
I think we see a strong effort for 40 minutes.

For whatever reason, we’ve played better at Hinkle then any other road venue under Ewing. Hopefully the trend continues today for the sake of morale. I think it’s a 50/50 game and hopefully our shots fall, as I don’t think our defense is changing overnight unfortunately.
Seems hard to believe but they only have one player averaging double figures (Harris at 11 ppg). Got to hope Bolden doesn’t get hot from deep, and Hodges recent streak cools a bit.
For some reason it feels like one of our guys will go off (a la Malinowski a few years back), and maybe it’s Rice with one of his unconscious games. It would be nice for Dante to be a positive for a change, but the more games we see, the more I think this is what he is. And thus why he was a +300 ranked recruit. Aminu will be the best athlete on the court and he seems to have reigned in his game a bit over the last few. This could be a game he can standout in a variety of ways.
A win or loss today doesn’t change my feelings on the team, but for the sake of the kids and coaches working hard, I’d like to see them enjoy a win and for a few days at least get a break from the noise.

Dante was horrible last game. We were actually beating them in the first half if not for Dante gifting them 10 points with silly tunrovers that led to fast break dunks.

Today should be fascinating - it's an absolute must-win for Jordan to keep his job. If Butler gets this one, they're 4-6 in the Big East with 10 regular season games to play, including 2 against St. John's and 1 vs. DePaul. If you squint hard enough, you might be able to see the Bulldogs getting to 7-8 wins in the Big East, which might be enough for Jordan to be retained. But the Bulldogs absolutely have to win today in order to make that a potential reality.
Georgetown, of course, has much lower expectations for its program than Butler does. A win today certainly helps Ewing make his case that he is in the process of righting the Hoyas' ship.

GAMEDAY!!
Need to take this one if we have any illusions of not being in last of the BE. It's going to start on the boards, we know Patrick got into them about effort after UConn...let's see if it translates onto the court. I doubt we will shoot as well as we did against UConn but we're a shooting team so we need to keep taking them. The key though as always is defense: Butler is not a good offensive team, we can't let them get confidence and see shots going in.
GO HOYAS! Beat the Bulldogs!

We are 5.5 point underdogs to the 128th ranked KenPom team. I never thought I would see the day. This really should be a losing coach doesn’t survive type of game. We will see how it plays out. Not much to talk about with the game since we just played. Last game was a stalemate accords the board other than shooting. Good Kaiden is probably the key.

Isn't the 1st Butler game the one Dante and Don missed? A combination of Dante with Tyler providing spot minutes should keep Dante fresh. I just can't see us losing to this team at full strength.

Never say never. We are equally as bad, even at full strength (maybe worse??). I expect a much more even game compared to last time, but if we can get the W, it’ll be hard fought.

Butler is a truly horrible team but they are rightly the slight favorites in this game. This is one of the worst matchups you can have among major conference teams.
