Damn I wanted UVA. Kansas is long and a great defensive team. Only plus for us, like WVU, is that they aren't great shooters. If we could ever learn to defend next year, then we'd have a shot against some of these teams because we'll be able to put up points. It’s all good, the Hoyas will hopefully get to face UVA in the championship game.

We are losing 6 of our top 9 scorers and all of our top 3. Unless Bile or Harris are go to scorers or someone in this freshman crew breaks out, we are likely looking at a whole roster of guys putting up 6 to 8 points a game. It could work since you won't really be able to key in on anyone and we can rotate in & out like JT Jr. but I don't know man. We haven't had issues putting points up, even in games with only our 5 guys. We'll easily score 70+ a game (which is more than enough offense)

So we just need 40-45pts from the rest.....Juggy will give us 10pts...the rest will come from bench...

If we get a combined 35pts per game from those two we’ll be in surprisingly great shape next year. I don’t see them getting within 10pts of that but hope you are right. hm

Don't get too excited about in-person games right away... I want to see what policy the Hoya Hoop Club puts into place as the contribution level guarantees your seat location and priority. Will it expect Hoya fans to pay the HHC contribution w/o any benefit of live games?

How are we not a perennial top-20 program?

Meh. America East is a not-so-great conference that's been propped up by Vermont the last couple of years. This one could be anywhere from 200-300 ratings-wise. At least it's semi-local.

More 1990's-era scheduling. The two Georges (Washington and Mason) would garner local interest; instead, it's UMBC and likely Eastern Shore, which will be walkovers. I don't have any problem with it right now. With the games already in place, we're not going to have a bad schedule. And every team - especially the young one we'll have - needs some warm-up competition. Yeah - I'd rather regularly be filling schedules with GW & GMU (teams that'll usually be 75-175) instead. I hope we can keep the number of these gimme games to 2 or 3, instead of all of the 5 or 6 remaining. If the idea is to keep it local b/c of COVID, maybe we'll be forced to play the Patriots or Colonials anyway.

What’s crazy about this year is that it’s very likely our Hoyas will be playing with no fans at home....while if we go and play an away game against say Creighton...they could have 20,000 fans in the seats. It’s going to vary state by state.

Think people are really overrating the chances that we are playing any games.

Don't think Ewing or the admin really care re what games the fans would actually like(come out to see). Not sure either that they have a good handle on what fans think is a good game to see either. Part of many reasons why attendance is poor. I'm fully aware of all the complications involved in scheduling/guarantees/recruiting, though fan input should also be considered-they should probably survey the fanbase-even the players. Obviously the survey results don't bind anything but might be a way to increase fan engagement.
I know Gtwn does a bit of cross sport consideration in scheduling, but they should try to practice it a lot more--most top schools do.

Some people act like there's ANY team in the country that has no cupcakes on their schedule. There's no reason we shouldn't play UMBC. Look at the schedules of whoever, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas. Tell me when you see a schedule without any cupcakes. Having said that, the upcoming schedule will be much stronger than in Ewing's first year, where there were too many cupcakes. I'd expect, and not be upset by a few more, though I agree with NYC94 that 5 more would be undesirable.

First you got to have a NCAA college basketball season, which looks very shaky right now.

UMBC was 256 last year on KenPom. So, much better than SWAC/MEAC. If they are our worst opponent, then fine, but we cannot afford to have multiple of these types of opponents.
I will still be shocked if we play a full normal season anyway, given the pandemic. At the very least, I think fans will likely not be present for at least some of the season.
