Writing this from the Dunkin Doughnuts Center.
Thank you Gtown for a great season. Too bad it ended but at least it ended to a team that played the game of their lives. That's not embarassing despite the reaction and over the top reactions by most here.
Heck of an improvement the past 12 months. I'm still proud

It was a roller coaster of a season - some great thrills and some games that we all would like to think never happened. I think the whole team would hope to forget this game, and ALL come back next year with something to prove. Until then, enjoy your off-season, thanks for the thrills, and get back to school. Hoya Saxa.

Not buying it. They did the absolute minimum that would be expected with this team's talent.

Yes, we can criticize, but don't you think they deserve a nod of appreciation from the fans for their hard work? Hate to be your kid. [Sorry, meant to include --->  ] |

We had our moments, but overall I think we underachieved a little, and there really is no excuse for the lack of urgency we showed tonight. Hopefully this is all part of the learning process, because we need to make a huge jump next year (if Greg comes back).

Thank you, Hoyas, for once again teaching me that I shouldn't tie my emotional well-being to the actions of a bunch of 18- to 21-year-olds.

Hoyaboy1, you've got to be kidding. Be a freakin adult.
I enjoyed watching this team through their very high-highs and even through most of their frustrating lows. I hope they enjoyed themselves too and for the guys with NBA talent, I hope they developed skills to help them take it to the next level. Congrats to the team for a great year with a tough ending.

JTIII - we'll have a deeper bench next year .. can you lock yourself in a room with POPS and take notes on "D" like the womens coach did this season. A little full court press/trap won't hurt. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yeah, seriously shutup. Not even close to being ready to thank this team for anything.

[Sorry, meant to include ---> ] These are high-level D-1 athletes with pro aspirations, not 10 year olds. They aren't playing as a favor to us. Look, I love this team and most of these players, but "thanking" them seems pretty strange after what just happened. They were a bunch of talented guy who went out and did less than was expected. I'll be at Kenner for countless hours this summer and I'll be on this board everyday wasting time, but I'm not ready to look back on this season with anything but disappointment right now. |

Thanking a team for losing to an inferior team. Some ceiling we have.

A little soon for this type of reflection, but as usual, the guys represented the University with class and showed tremendous improvement versus last year (something so many forget already). I am looking forward to next season, a senior backcourt that will be playing with urgency. With or without Greg, this team will compete next season. One thing we have learned, Monroe is a special talent, but does he enjoy playing the game all out? Perhaps he will take another huge step next season, or he may move on to the NBA. Either way, this team will be ready for redemption next season.
I just see so many lessons learned this season that will help this team next season and I see two frosh coming in that play with passion. CW will be our leader regardless of Greg's decision, he is our unquestioned captain going forward.
