Kid’s a warrior. So much heart, it’s hard not to support him.

Seen in a boot around campus… Hopefully Dante won't miss any time, but if he does that is going to put a lot of stress on Tyler. I have been impressed with Tyler's poise in the minutes he has played but there is a big difference between being the starting PG and just filling in for fairly short stretches to give the start a breather. I am not even really sure who would be considered the back up behind Tyler, if Dante could not go, in the next game. Would it be Aminu? Carey?

Hope he's okay. If everyone on the team hustled and had heart like him, we'd be in a much different position.

Not to say the other guys aren’t busting their balls but it just looks different with Harris. The look of anguish on his face after St. Joes was heartbreaking. I hope things get better if for nothing else so we don’t have to see that look again.

Tyler was slated to be the PG of the future for the Hoyas with Dante as an alternate. But with COVID and there not been any certainty if Georgetown could play in DC or if the Big East was going to play, Beard took an extra year at Hargrove (it didn't help his game and lost some point guard skill, but he kept playing). I hope Dante is back going full speed soon. Having two really good point guards is a luxury and can be really tough on opposing teams.

I know random thought at 6 in the morning but...
Surprisingly he has really struggled from the FT line this year. Last year he was almost automatic (just under 90%) and this year almost 69%. No idea what to attribute that to.
I am not sure I ever expect him to be a good 3pt shooter, but does have a nice midrange game and as of lately he does seem to have a better feel about how to get his shot up in the lane...but will be critical for him to get that FT % up with the minutes he plays and the assumption he will see the ball alot at crunch time.

Agree. Whatever unshakable confidence that we saw last year is gone.

Curtis Staples "hitch" has screwed up muscle memory on FTs. 😁

When he is done, Dante will be on the list of all-time great Hoya point guards with Joey Brown, Charles Smith, Allen Iverson, etc

Good game for Dante. Shooting %s look better and and he filled the stat sheet with 7pt, 6 reb, 6asst, 1 stl, and only 2 TOs. Rest that ankle up and wear that walking boot nonstop...the xmas break can't come soon enough for him.

Dante, the rest of your life is much more important than basketball today. If your tweets reflect how you are actually feeling, pause and ask for help. If you feel too much pressure is on you, it may be time to step away for a while.

Think he's just quoting that new Rod Wave song that just dropped a couple weeks ago called Nirvana.
