Based upon the source (Mike Francesa), I'd wager that Jay Wright never coaches again. Francesca's track record in predicting anything sports-related (except for horse racing) is abysmal. But but but….he’s the one who discovered Jason Witten and told Jerry Jones to take him. He’s also the world’s foremost expert in snow blower operation. To bring this back to Georgetown hoops, who’s less deserving of the several million per year they make? Ewing or Francesa? That’s a dead heat… He’s a Picasso with a snow blowahh.

Hey Mike Francesa do you think Jason Giambi would be a good replacement for Coach Wright? I will hang up and listen to your response.

Congrats to richfame for winning the first prediction contest of the season at 5 points off! I still can’t believe we lost to freaking Dartmouth… Next up: American: 64 Georgetown: 68 Thank you! Let’s hope for a better outcome against American. Go Hoyas

So happy to NEEDto watch the selection Sunday show again. I love the nervous excitement. A few thoughts 1. I’m surprised we were not one of the live teams. Would have been nice to see the boys excited. 2. What’s wrong with Greg Gumbal, he really looks like crap. 3. I didn’t want to be in a Gonzaga’s or Illinois bracket so I was happy there. 4. Unfort I think Michigan is so good, Dickenson is one of the best frosh centers if seen in awhile. I don’t think we can beat Michigan. 5. I like our opening round game and even getting to the sweet 16, if we can keep the same defensive intensity. 6. Nice to see NO DUKE, UNC as an 8 seed and NO Kentucky. The mighty have really fallen. Teams that can win it all. Michigan Ohio state Illinois Zags Baylor Alabama Quick exit Nova Go hoyas Michigan all depends on Livers and how long he is out for or how effective. He is an NBA SF. Wahab won't be scared of Dickinson, he has played him enough in prep I'm assuming. Good point, I watched Dickenson a lot, I think he’s really good. I like Michigan this year, I always enjoyed the fab 5, I was in high school during there run so I want Juan Howard to succeed. I hope we get to play them. It’s all I can ask right.

I could not be more proud of this group and our coach.
I think the key to the game is containing Terry on the perimeter. He is an amazing guard but not sure of his long term NBA prospects. I think Q will have his hands full with Luther and Arturas. Even though he’s young Hurley is smart, like a coach on the floor.
I’m optimistic. Hoya Saxa.

Ewing yells rebound before Dante’s first FT on a 2 shot foul....lol. Must be anxiety related. This post is hilarious. Well done.

If there’s a bright spot Curious Wahab has improved a lot.

My issue was I felt the by any other programs standard that JT3 should have been fired Earlier . I can’t say the exact second I came to that conclusion but I felt he had to go. The problem was because JTJr still had his hands on things it was going to be very hard to do this, that things had to be double or triple bad to get rid of 3. That’s why I was OK with losses. I didn’t think he was the right coach with the right system or mentality to lead us forward. Your right Ewing has not delivered. I always give a new coach 3 years to recruit and build his program. Ewings first run has been a nightmare. He got talent in and was suppose to start winning. Clearly got many reasons and different types of departures it didn’t happen. I’m willing to give him a reset button and 2-3 years to learn from what happened. Always liked Ewing. This is what you want to talk about theTuesday after Coach Thompson passed?

The only time I rooted against the hoyas was at the end of the JT3 era, I could not stand watching loss after bad loss in the NCAA tournament and his passive system and calm as coma demeanor. I felt things needed to get very very bad to fire Thompson. I really liked The Ewing hire and I’m still hopeful he will turn it around. I would objectively say with the transfers and big game recruiting misses his first few years have not gone as planned. I feel like we’re starting at step one. So you rooted against the team because of bad NCAA losses, yet you're totally fine with a team that hasn't even made the NCAA tournament (or even won an NIT game) in three years? I don't really understand that logic, other than the fact that you like Ewing more than you liked JT3. And if true, that's fine, but I would much prefer to be losing NCAA games at this point than finishing below .500 in conference. And, starting at step one three years in isn't a good place to be. But, I hope you're right and Ewing will turn it around. We really need it. My issue was I felt the by any other programs standard that JT3 should have been fired Earlier . I can’t say the exact second I came to that conclusion but I felt he had to go.

RIP Coach... very sad news. I grew up watching my beloved Hoyas playing on Saturdays. Charley Smith, Joey Brown, Big Zo, Deke.... that's the beginning for me... 35+yrs of fandom... a sad day.... Legit the same time I started watching hoya hoops. Fell in love with Zo and Mutombo and Smith. RIP JT

The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Those who are still here don't "hate" the program but rather "hate" what it has become. The indifferent ones have already left. The so-called "haters" still care about the Hoyas even if some vehemently disagree with how they may sometimes express themselves. The only time I rooted against the hoyas was at the end of the JT3 era, I could not stand watching loss after bad loss in the NCAA tournament and his passive system and calm as coma demeanor.

This Thread has been a good read. I’m one of the people that was happy when Ewing got a chance to coach and I tune into every televised game rooting for a W. I think the optics of all the departures looks awful for this program. I understand why Gardner, Alexander and LeBlank left the team, they got in trouble with the law. Not Ewing’s fault. He treats the guys as men and if they make bad decisions then he can have them on ankle bracelets watching there every move. When Ackinjo left I figured well, just an unhappy kid with a bad attitude or a good kid that wasn’t fitting in....IDK. I’m not in the lockeroom so I gave Ewing a pass. But this Whole Mac situation makes our programs look awful. Why did Mac leave? He was going to get the keys to the castle right? Primary guard running the show putting his talents on display every night for all too see. I still don’t know the reason he transferred?! I get he couldn’t make it in the draft, was advised again G league or overseas yet he chooses to leave us! Looks awful. Even I’m like what the heck is going on here!? I feel like with the student misbehavior, transfers, and the 2-3 star recruits this is as bad as it gets. The optics read like this. Last few years Ewing got some good players. They came, they saw, then they ran out of here at warp speed. Just my observation from a longtime fan in CT. This I believe is a reasonable assessment and likely how most general college basketball fans view the events of last season. Assuming negative recruiting still happens....that’s certainly what other programs would be saying about Georgetown right now. Please forgive my ignorance of not being in the know. Why did Mac leave? He’s was going to be the man here right? Did Ewing trust him? Did he not rush to come back last year from his leg injury because he was down on the program? Did Mac and Akinjo have the same issues? Behind the seasons do the players not like or not respect Ewing as a coach? Could he have fought to keep the players that were being investigated? I would think players would like to be here for at least the reason of Ewing helping them get to the NBA, putting a good word in for them etc. Didn’t Ewing bring MJ in to meet the team once?
