I will be witnessing the train wreck first hand today. Lucky me! Will you be carrying any signs? SaveGeorgetownBasketball? Debating whether to bring a paper bag.

So I just came in a little late on that Big East black coaches segment. Did Ewing do any interviews in the segment?

It looks as if the women are taking a page out of the men's playbook. They were competitive with UConn in the first half, 23-24, but were outscored in the 2nd half, 41-27. But their record is infinitely better than the men's in conference at 1-7. A bit unfair considering the UCONN women could probably beat our men's team.

Last three seasons in Big East play for women's basketball: 2-15 4-15 1-7

I think based on the players that will play today the Hoyas have clear the most "skill". Of course I am not sure if I would raher have D3 Arch and his no skill but doesn't do anything or Primo and his skill that tries to do way too much. Both players really made it hard on their teams to win.

So interesting to listen to the announcers go about their business like the Georgetown program isn't a total disaster. Team apparently has "bright future."

Coach Ewing did not give Jordan Riley significant minutes until injuries and possibly becaue he dad tweeted. That says it all.

Wahab just being abused on both ends, but at least he has passed out of the double team twice already.

These refs must just fel bad fro Q. He walked earlier and they didnt call it. Now he loses the ball like he always does and they bail him out with a foul. We will take what we can get but I have no clue how he gets so many minutes.

Remember, Blair and Allen were both buried on the bench until all of the 2019 departures and we probably would have never found out what their potentials were--- Pat has always struggled with managing rotations when he has more than 7 players.

Was happy to see Jordan in the starting lineup. If he keeps the TO's down, he is the huge difference maker out there. Love his game!

Both of these teams are terrible at the rim.

Riley helps Nova player up after a foul. Some think that's weak -- I think it shows style and a deeper understanding of playing at a higher level.
Also -- love Ezewiro -- the bounce and energy he brings to the floor is so welcome.

It feels to me as though we are just hanging on in this game. We can close the Villanova runs, but Villanova is setting the pace. It’ll be a big moment coming out of this timeout. We need to close again, or this could get ugly.

The offense has looked much better today. I don't know if it's by design but the ball is in Primo's hands less. He has also made a couple nice late shot clock passes he normally doesn't make. AFter the first couple dump downs to Q that has stopped as well. The defense is still the defense.

The announcers love making excuses for Ewing Sad. The Thompson/Ewing lovers eat it up. New players that need to learn the system 🤣

More careless TOs, passing to a covered player (Mozone) and Primo driving into the lane and leaving his feet with no idea where he is going with the ball. Two more failures to closeout on an open 3 pt shooter. More of the same while still listening to the announcers trying to excuse a poorly coached team.
