I am not surprised, but curious where KenPom will put us preseason. To me, finishing 147 on a site like Haslametrics or KenPom would be pretty unacceptable (unless 1/3 of our roster gets injured or something like that). I am really looking for 100+. To put it in perspective, Cooley's worst team at Providence (his first season) was 126 on KenPom. Cooley's first year at Georgetown needs to be better than that. |

Their forecast is 10-21, 2-18 in Big East play, but this is using stats from last year's team and, well, they're not here anymore. |

Inside the top 100 would be amazing. Anything else would be gravy.

I'm overly optimistic for a .500 record. I'm really looking forward to seeing this group come together as the season progresses.

I am not going to get hung up on wins and losses. Cooley has started from scratch. I will give him the benefit of the doubt. I think we should all prepare ourselves for a very low win total preferably without members of the board losing their minds because they have talked themselves into a rosy but remote scenario.
I want to see signs of progress.
I want to see better 3 point defense and not giving limitless uncontested 3s in exchange for 2s. That is just a guaranteed way to lose.
I want to see an offense. I want to see ball movement. I want to see a PG who doesn’t play hero ball. I want to see a screen set that is actually effective at creating time and space for a teammate. I want to see players who play for the team and not for their own stat lines. I want to see Hoyas that I can cheer for and not cheer against (Thank you for that first Primo and Murray).
Lastly, I want to see a little fighting spirit and not play like a fragile flower. Find a way to compete. I want to see a program that is not the easiest win on everyone’s schedule.

All those things you listed, I've never seen a Cooley team not do even when he was finishing .500 overall at the start of Providence. They were in almost every game. |

We have entered the 30 days and counting period, ladies and gentlemen. This would be a good time to check and prepare all appropriate game watching and game attending apparel, get a fresh Sharpie to make big bold X's over each passing date, brush up on the Fight Song, check out video to remind yourselves where we have been and where we are going (starter clip below), and just generally get in shape for all the fist pumping and jumping up off the couch and screaming that you'll be doing in the season ahead. Might also be a good idea to reacquaint yourselves with anguished cursing and yelling new, bold coaching advice at your screen. And always have ready the phrase that sustained Red Sox fans like myself through decades of frustration and disappointment: "yeah, wait til next year". Know that it's going to get better every year -- enjoy this season in all its transition and ups and downs, and look forward to an even better team in the future. Let's go!!!
