Five questions to start:
1. What changes on the floor for Georgetown? Do we ever see Ryan Mutombo and D'Ante Bass on the floor again?
2. How does Butler rebound from that drubbing by PC, because they inevitably will?
3. Attendance guess? Does RT have a talk with arena security before the game?
4. Given that it's New Year's Day, will the Post cover the game amidst bowl games, Redskin/Commanders, and Wizards all playing that day?
5. Does a win change the story?

5. Does a win change the story? To some extent, I think a loss changes the story. If a change at midseason is a possibility, Ewing probably is allowed the Butler game to try to win a game. If they lose the Butler game, what's the next winnable game? (I don't think Jack changes anything at midseason though, and I think Ewing is too stubborn step aside at midseason). |

Mid change is not possible JD doesn’t have the spine and Pat will ignore the “noise” even if it’s boos from the 100 people who showed up |

Will you be in DC to voice your opinion since you care so deeply? One of the players offered to provide tickets to those who need them. ;-) |

Fans aren’t going to spend time and money to voice their displeasure. Free tickets are just a small portion of the cost. The product is awful, fans are long gone. Apathy has set in.

Nothing. doubtful. 65% from three, all of which come at the top of the key when the shooter drags his defender through a pick on Wahab, no switch is made, and Wahab cannot get out to get a hand in his face in time. 1123 (at least a version of that would have been the attendance when I was working in the Sports Info Dept) The NY Post, maybe. No, but also depends on who is answering the question. |

I truly believe, maybe foolishly, that we are 1 loss away from Pat stepping down. I think Butler is the last stand...
...so I fully expect to win by 10 to the detriment of the program.

The thing is Matta is a much better coach than Ewing so all he has to do is watch some game film and see what everyone else sees wrong with Ewing’s coaching. Get as many 3s as possible, collapse on wahab whenever he gets the ball, double team the hot hand because they will try to dribble through more than pass, frustrate Murray. That’s it so I was originally hoping we wouldn’t surpass the losing streak record but now I want Ewing to do it since he is so hellbent on collecting that check. Can’t risk them using the win on New Year’s Day as new platform of “wE tURnInG iT aROuND”

I've been thinking that all season......THIS loss is going to be the one the ends this madness, but on we go. I hope you are right about this one being the last stand. I fear you are right that we will win and Ewing will point to how everything is coming together. I am getting dangerously close to rooting against the team I've loved for 40 years. I don't think I'll let it happen before this season is over, but I wish there could be some sign that a change is coming. |

IMHO, win or lose Ewing finishes out the season.

Unfortunately, the only way change will happen is if Jack is embarrassed. You wouldn’t be rooting against the team. You would be rooting for change. |
