Not sure we have the right point guard in! The guard Davis killed us time and time again!

12 months ago we had beaten a Top 25 team in Texas and led the then #1 Duke team at MSG.
The fall has been pretty steep...

So disappointing. We look disjointed, do not play with confidence, look like a poorly coached team. We will continue to lose our fan base looking as we do.

The unabashed Ewing supporters are conspicuously absent on this thread. I’m a coach Ewing supporter but we were out coached and out played. This is unacceptable. Go Hoyas!

The unabashed Ewing supporters are conspicuously absent on this thread. Because that was indefensible. Everybody misses shots. Everybody has off nights. And there are lots of holes on this team. But you can’t commit blatant coaching blunders with rotation and clock management like we just saw. Just inexcusable...and disastrously disheartening.

Not much to say after this. Really struggling. Bile and Harris on floor totally killed us for a while. Pat has got a problem.
Don't have much more in me to write.

I am here as well and there is no excuse for what I just watched...I have defended Ewing at every turn and have such optimism for the incoming class but feel that talented is bound to get wasted...

Which Harris are you bashers considering the wrong Harris?

This is year 4, and the program looks worse off now then they did when Patrick was hired. If we finish multiple games under 500 how do you justify keeping him as your head coach?

Very disappointed. Not like we were making the tournament anyway but we gotta win the games we should. Need to rewatch but lots of disappointment all around. Need to rewatch? Are you also into self-flagellation? This was hard enough to watch once, and I’m not enough of a masochist to watch it again.

The only saving grace is that no one left home to watch that mess. No urgency; poor substitution patterns; low basketball IQ plays; non preparation for close/late situations; it was truly a tour de force. I’d call it a tour de farce.

What is most disappointing to me is the overall lack of defensive intensity. Not closing out hard on the three-pointers. Getting easily blown by. Jalen Harris couldn't keep anyone in front of him; Jamorko still can't and doesn't even close hard, which with his height should be a weapon. Not a single one of our starters is a plus defender. It appears that maybe Dante Harris is the only plus defender on the entire roster (maybe Clark). We're good for one or two goaltends a game where the ball is basically already in the hoop. Lack of quickness, lack of effort, lack of execution....means lack of stops.
But it's not like we're great shakes on the other end either. My goodness. For those who cried about Yurt being all soft, Q shoots almost nothing but little baby hooks. He had a good game overall I thought -- I'm not picking on him. But it wasn't a dominating "force the other team to double every time you touch it" kind of performance. Pickett is maddening on that end. As I said earlier, that one pull up three may have been -- all things considered (time, score, how open he is) -- one of the least accurate three-point shots I've ever seen. It was Bile's first game...but he seemed overmatched. I could go on, but really what's the point?
This was really, really bad. There's no sugar-coating it. We got beat by a better team. Truly. And if there's a bigger indictment of where we are, I don't know what it could be.

We’ve played worse games but they were generally situations where we came out flat, played down to our competition and/or just played poorly. This is different. I think we played an ok game for this team. And that is scary. hm agree with this.

We are in the same boat as Michigan with their Football Head Coach.

I think we played an ok game for this team. And that is scary. hm agree with this. As bad as we’ve been the last 6 years there has been still great individual talent - Peak, Govan, Derrickson, Pryor, Yurt, Akinjo, Mac. This team is so devoid of top end talent it’s scary for a BE team. And making matters worse, there aren’t any plus defenders or hustle guys in the main rotation that could let you overcome the pure talent deficit.

We are in the same boat as Michigan with their Football Head Coach. Except Harbaugh is nowhere near the legend that Ewing is and Michigan people care a lot about football whereas GU people, present company excepted, are ambivalent at best.

Navy making shots, we gotta match them. Was this Ewing's sage advice in the huddle? Btw I was commenting on the game. At the point they were making shots even against solid D. We couldnt play better D, we could only make shots. We didnt and I believe you agree. It was definitely a VERY disappointing game. We will see what happens though. Buckle up, we have 4 more months.
