The losing streak is at an almost unfathomable 20 games. When do you think it will end? I’m going to go with game seven on Jan 10th at home against Seton Hall.

I have a feeling that it ends on Dec 16th. I also have a feeling that if it doesn't end then it may not end this year.

December 16th will be an interesting game - it's possible that the Big East will want the "Georgetown hasn't won a Big East game in 20+ contests" storyline to end ASAP. That said, Xavier is one of probably 3 Big East teams with a chance to do damage nationally this season, and losing to Georgetown would be an absolute RPI killer for the Musketeers. I'm going to go with January 1 vs. Butler in front of an announced crowd of ~6,000 that will be exaggerated by ~3,000. |

I'll go a couple of days earlier and say we not only stop the streak at DePaul, but deprive the legions of home fans the pleasure of seeing it in person. |

Would love it to be against Xavier, but I watched them take it to the wire against Indiana the other night. We are not even close to playing that level of ball for 40 minutes yet. If we grow and develop and play gritty, smart, cohesive basketball, we can be good. After 5 games, it's hard to imagine us beating those teams above us in the BE. It would require vigilant and tough 3 point defending, scoring our own 3's, and taking care of the ball. Can we do it? I'd love to thinks so -- let's go!!!!!!!!!
I'll go with the Butler gam as well. Who knows where Thad will have his squad by then, but gritty, smart & cohesive will get us there!

In case anyone (else) is morbidly curious, as near as I can tell the Big East record for consecutive total conference losses is 25, by DePaul across 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons (1-17 both years, and lost its one tourney game in 2010). Record for just regular season Big East losses is also Depaul's at 24 -- TWICE, second time across those same two seasons and first across the three seasons starting with 2007-08 through 2009-10 (Depaul was 0-18 in 2008-09, and lost last regular season conference game in 2007-08 season and first five in 2009-10, after winning it's opening tournament game the year of the 2008-09 regular season...) I think these are the respective regular season and with tournament records anyway, but all done manually by looking up game results so if anyone else wants to have at it please do so! (The Hoyas of course are at 20 in a row for both, having lost the last conference regular season game in the 2020-21 season before starting the run to the tourney title...)

I wonder if maybe JD just sticks his head in the sand and the program just tells him "Hey! We broke another recordddddd!!!!!!!!" but just don't specify which record... Do we have the record for the worst grad rates or most transfers? |

It’s doable because we have at least 6 games during the winter break. I know there really is no home court advantage at CapOne right now with how bad Pat’s coaching is, but without the students we will need even more giveaways, with refreshments included, or it will feel like winter inside that cavern. |

Bringing this back. My original prediction of Jan 10th vs SH is looking a bit optimistic. But, I’m sticking with it. If not that, then only DePaul on Jan 24th stands between us and other winless Big East season.

Will likely be the emptiest Capital One Arena for Nova-Georgetown in a long, long time. |

I managed to pawn off an extra ticket to former work colleague of mine - a Harvard grad who still remembers Harvard beating us in 2019 NIT at McDonough. But I'm wondering if many Nova fans would trek down from Philly making it a home game for them. IOW, Cap One may be the emptiest of Hoya fans. |

Are yall delusional? What makes you think we can beat Dematha let alone a D1 team? January 24th is the last winnable game on the schedule and after last night that may be a stretch. Have yall been watching SH? I don't know why we keep SH in the beatable group. Might as well add StJs if you are going to put SH as a winnable game. The only way this team is winning another game this year is if Ewing is fired or if a non-starter gets early PT and catches fire. Or if a team has a Covid/flu outbreak.

Will likely be the emptiest Capital One Arena for Nova-Georgetown in a long, long time. The team that played last night can not beat anyone in the Big East. The team I saw on Thursday night isn’t much better but might be able tot hang with SH or DePaul and is probably the best version of this team under Ewing. There is not much reason at all to think there are more than 2-3 winnable games left even if the team maxes out what they are capable of. |
