Hate to say it, but we need to start flopping more. The powers that be in college hoops have decided that this is how the game will be played and officiated. If someone as much as farts on you, fall down and whine for the call. It's clearly worth it. And everything else we try doesn't work. Our best defense might be just flopping and hoping for the best.

seton hall didn't even get into the bonus until very late in the half. Can't really blame the refs. We just make too many dumb plays.

4 attempts by DSR... I know SH is playing pretty good defense, but he has oassed up various open shots. Just terrible for a senior to be scared of shooting. It's like he does not know we're desperate for a W.

What Mourning did was a clear foul and it was idiotic. That's the story of the season. Just dumb fouls like that. I'd have to see the replay, but in real time it looked like he was not moving at all, just standing strong. Didn't see him lean or move to the side. Thought it was a screen the way they draw them up, but as I said, that was in real time, haven't seen a replay slowed down.

The lack of PG play is killing Georgetown. Nobody penetrates into the lane and we are close to breaking a record by illegal picks at the foul line by our centers. This team has no clue how to play basketball.

There shouldn't have been a call against Mourning. No question. On the call against LJ on the fast break...it probably could have been left as a no call, and the Seton Hall player sold it, but LJ extended the arm. It was dumb on his part.

Heart-attack recipe once again.
The key ingredient is that rumbling, frantic, scrambling finale at the end of the game.
Then victory.
"Had it all the way" will be considered funny. A smile will emerge from behind the oxygen mask.....

Everything is negotiable. Do you think Wachovia in Philly wouldn't want the same for event dates from Nova? Nova has options. Georgetown has none, and Monumental knows it. We all know it. Do you really think Georgetown would move home games to the only other available arena over 6,000 seats...the DC Armory? ![](http://jpangilinan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/405A6477-776x415.jpg) Replace those signs with some BE banners and I think you have something? I'd consider negotiating with another college (e.g., UMD) to play there to provide leverage, it's closer than Landover, MD was. They need to start thinking outside the box instead of acting like victims that blame the cost of Verizon on our inflated basketball budget. From the talk on this board this arena is a huge drain on the budget of this program and as far as selling it to recruits I don't see this atmosphere being all that great. We need solutions not blockers.

I hate to agree with you on this kind of thing, but it's true. Turning basketball into Italian soccer. Sigh.

We should file a discrimination lawsuit against the referees. The double standard is infuriating to watch game in game out. Granted we also suck but when every call also goes against you, it's a stacked deck. Law of averages should see us pull some of these games but the refs are making sure that doesn't happen. If I were jt3 I'd be throwing chairs after those calls. I think we are beyond blaming the refs. It's not like we've played well in these games and they've cost us. It's way beyond that.

I am at the game and you could see Mourning just walk up to the back of the player and push into him. Regardless, I don't think there is any way you could say officiating is a factor in this game. We have at least 8-9 stupid turnovers.

We have at least 8-9 stupid turnovers. Sorry. Agree to disagree. I just rewound it again. Still don't think it's a foul on Mourning.

Just more garbage. This team is the biggest disappointment of III's tenure. It plays like it's coached by Esherick. Injuries are definitely a factor, but with the personnel we have we should be much better than this. We might not even make the NIT.

We're too soft. We need help for next year. Who's coming that could help? Lets check the grad transfers, the Euros, jucos, high school seniors who are older than their peers... pay me $3M and I'll find someome who does not like to get beat and will get down and defend like there's no tomorrow.

At least we can see they were well prepared to make a desperation run at tourney tonight with the scheme. Just players not executing so far. Hopefully they pick it up in second half.

I truly despise the way we run our offense, outside of Peak.
