Saying "my" is pretty offensive to most here as Hoyas is the team "we" root for. You really need to stop treating this like you are they only one that cares. It his highly offensive, even to those who may agree with you. Dude cut it out! There's only a few in here who are rooting for the team this year like I am. Most of them are rooting against them like I said. Do you see all the Dante hate, the Ewing hate or are you blind as a bat? ...and that is exactly what you somehow never get... I and others may be critical of Ewing and Harris but there is NEVER and I mean NEVER a moment I don't root and cheer for this team...and even though I don't think Ewing is the answer I hope we win every single game under his guide...and even though I don't think Harris is the answer at PG I root for every single one of his shots to go in and he turns into an All BE player... It's amazing how arrogant you are to think your the only fan of this team here and because others are critical to a wildly disappointing season so far makes us not fans. Beyond disgusting opinion. I have maybe missed 10 games over the last 20 years....I live in die (sadly) for every game and look forward to every season like it's Xmas. You preach like your the only one that cares because you blindly support everything that happens with no care for results. The amazing this I don't even need titles...I just want this team to be above average so I can enjoy each game and root for these kids and school...and I don't think Ewing is going to get us there...but I guess I am not a real fan.

It's become much more evident once we got to BE play why Rice went to the Citadel. He has one above average skill and then literally not another single piece to his game...

Beard not playing well but team looks so much better on the offensive end w/no Harris

If Ewing gets canned will you go away also? He will and then just create another handle...

Is Bristol in uniform?

The defense continues to be difficult to watch. Not much movement. ...and yet we do nothing at all to change our approach...

Feeling optimistic for this one. We are so due to have a good performance and I think this Butler team is extremely mediocre.
Would love to see a lot more full court press like others have stated. Especially if Bristol is available and Clark is ready to give some decent minutes. Please Ewing...what do we have to lose at this point?
Also would like to see Ewing tinker again with the starting lineup. That is not to take a shot at anyone starting but maybe just to provide a spark and give another look to our opponent out of the gate.
I think we see a strong effort for 40 minutes.

He's 20 years old. For many prospects like him, a first round grade is what the goal is. To be a 21/22 year old lottery pick in what will be a pretty strong class in 2023...he'd better have a meteoric, POY type of rise next season or display a coveted NBA skill on an extremely high level (ala Chris Duarte last year). Personally, I'm not betting on that happening at Georgetown with all due respect. You can bet your house on him entering this summer and at least going through the process. If he returns for his sophomore year, it means he didn't get a first round grade during his pre-draft evals.
There is no doubt he is putting his name in to at the very least get the feedback. After his first few games against real competition when we hit BE play I didn't think he had a chance of being a first rounder as it was more of the same he was doing in OOC but he has completely stopped most of his bad habits over the past 3-4 games and is making way better decisions. If he plays like that the rest of the season it would be hard not to see him go. But none of us know what they want. He was sent here (US) for education so who knows how much that plays a role if at all.
I do wonder what his mindset would be if he didn't get a first round "promise" from any team. I do think there would be plenty of teams in the 20-30 range with already solid rosters that would love to take the chance on him. ...but being a first Rd pick and getting that guaranteed contract is a big deal. It's also funny how stats/perception works at least from an outsider. I believe going into the UConn game he was around 33% from 3. Then he goes 3 for 4 and is now around 38%. So on paper he goes from a so-so 3pt shooter to a fairly solid one if you just glaze over stats.

Interesting...G Mason had a solid win against St Bonnies tonight...maybe that's what it is in regard to...

It’s unfortunate that the days seem past when players stuck around because they liked the school. Yes, old fogey speaking. Yes but it's unfortunately so true...the only thing keeping me from saying I want Ewing gone today is losing this class of players...I realize many will tell me well that's simply the price of moving on from any coach...but nonetheless it does stink as a fan that it feels like it has become more about the coach then the school...not all but most. Sorry to add to my on post but this is why I am such a huge proponent of Kim English...I bet you give him an hour w/these kids (if Ewing we're to depart) and I would be shocked if any of them leave beyond Aminu who may have his mind already set for the pros

Had Jordan been on the bench since his injury? Is that common or uncommon for him not to travel w/the team while injured.
Not trying to stir up gossip but I don't believe I have seen him but I may be completely wrong and/or typically injured players don't travel. I just don't even know if I noticed him at home games.

Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and the blind dog can see we don’t have the players to compete with a team like UConn at this time. Absolutely correct and I am pretty sure it's the coaches responsibility to recruit and bring those players in....maybe year 6

What more evidence does anybody need? If this was any other human being on earth people would have pitchforks and torches out... ...but it's Ewing and I honestly love and admire the man just as much as the next guy and I am in awe of what he did as a player but at some point you need to take emotions and feelings out of the equation and recognize his not the right fit as head coach at Georgetown...

This team has totally quit on Ewing...and I don't blame them... I'm not happy about whats going on right now, but what are you seeing specifically tonight that suggests they have totally quit? I see literally no fire at all. Do you? Defensive rebounding in my mind is all effort and desire and they are getting completely dominated on the boards. I am not saying these kids aren't trying...but we are not winning any of the effort plays and getting embarrassed and blown out of the building

I’m ready for Beard. Anytime now. Honestly I am really worried we lose this kid...he must say to himself watching Harris what do I have to do to see the floor...
