Let's go Hoyas! I hope they can pull this off ... and let's be honest, barring a miraculous run of victories, Coach Ewing's fate is likely already set -- and we fans will be the last ones to learn what it is!

Let's root for the Hoyas! Right now. They got a game tonight they can win. Worry about the rest of the season and the coach later. GO Hoyas! Beat Depaul.

It also highlights why a 6'6 below the rim player, while very skilled, is hard to march out there as your starting 4. He has improved his body since last year, but it has always been clear he is a situational sub rather then a starter. He looked great against fellow lesser athletes in OOC, but his limitations aren't going away in that regard. If he builds his body into a rock over the next few years, maybe he can bully some of that stuff up there but the long 6'9 leaper is going to make his inside game difficult if not obsolete. I don't think I agree. I look at Perry McDonald and his skillset and I see a place where Holloway could excel particularly since even in the paint the refs call more fouls! That pre-dates me a bit so I'll take your word for it. I just think in the modern game the guy better have bulk like Dixon from Nova or Blair from Pitt or have some plus level athleticism at 6'6.

DePaul -2.5
Underdogs at home to a 3-13 team.
But give Ewing time…

I guess Depaul has been better this year, but they still aren't good. Their fan base is excited though. Whatever.

I predict a big win in a breakout game for Wayne Bristol Jr., our secret weapon.

The goal should be to get Collin and JBills into better shape so they can play the 3 and 4 positions. I would love to see Collin develop into a poor man's Kris Middleton. Collin, JBills and Ryan need to get into college bball shape.

Hopefully GU will be aware of minimizing scoring droughts on their part.

I feel like this board is going to be a tough place to be come 10:30 tonight. Either it will be the dumpster fires of all dumpster fires, or it will be an “I told you so, Hoyas are back” love-fest.
I hope there’s some scenario in between but I’m not sure what it could be…

In the Landover days, you were lucky if the bus driver could find the place.

I hope there’s some scenario in between but I’m not sure what it wiiir be… Lol, that would have to be one lopsided win, Dave! Look, from my perspective, what we are seeing is an outmanned and inexperienced team that is clearly playing their hearts out trying to improve. At some point, after the potential of a couple fairly close losses upon Carey's return morphed into a series of thrashings, this team seemed to turn the corner in a wonderful way. This experience could have done many things to them, thankfully it is making them tougher, and it is a credit to all involved.

I hope we can get this win tonight. We played well against Villanova and got some rest. Let’s beat DePaul!

This is how low we've fallen - our game is relegated to CBS Sports Network, and we have to wait for the end of the Wagner-FDU game for our broadcast to start. Yikes.

Wait why is Wagner’s coach wearing a jersey?
