Sure is looking, long term, like Georgetown is now satisfied with being the Big East equivalent of Boston College in the ACC, Northwestern in the Big Ten and Vanderbilt in the SEC. Academically superior to the other schools in the conference, very competitive in the non-revenue sports, and a punching bag in basketball. And based upon that realization, there is no reason to speculate that we’ll ever see any further major financial investment in basketball.

We have 1 guy who would start on an NCAA Tournament Caliber team. It really comes down to that. Unless an impact transfer comes in, it might be 0 next year
That is probably true next year. I do think players like pretty much all the freshman have the potential in their college careers.

Dante, dribble penetration and look for your shot! Once you break down the defense and if you don't have the shot, pass it out to the shooters!!

Mac may have been worse. James about the same. Josh keep transferring to good teams and leading them in Rtg differential. Players don't improve as much after their freshman year as people believe. They usually just keep more opportunity and people confuse that for improvement. The key is good coaches know how to use and maximize what they have. We have not done that. I think it’s less how people look elsewhere and more that we have lost opportunities to develop talent. This team would be better with Wahab on it. I have no way of knowing if it’d be an NCAA team, but it would be better. As it is, the transfers keep us short of building a veteran presence and usually one or two positions short of a competitive team. We are always recruiting from behind and have had mixed results in the transfer portal. We have gotten some decent players but have fallen short on major stars. Alternatively, if the argument is that these players aren’t very good, we are well past the point at which it’s on the staff to recruit and sign players who want to be here and will contribute. Yes replacing transfers with worse players coming in is in fact a bad strategy.

Nice small run. Need much more.
The run is happening by keeping the ball out of Aminu's hands.
The team is moving much better rather than just standing in a spot thinking they will get open by standing.

I know you never get much but if that was some high level coaching by Orr. Hard to see why our guys always seem lost.

Will wearing a paper bag over my head at next week’s Villanova game satisfy the DC mask mandate?

The comparisons you raise are fair, but the bigger concern is that the Big East is less secure in its long-term future than the ACC, Big 10, and SEC. There are going to be a lot of changes in college sports over the next ten years, driven for better or worse by football. I’m not sure where that leaves programs like Georgetown if we can’t create value and demonstrate that we are ready to evolve as college athletics changes.

At least we had last year’s magical week. It makes this slightly more tolerable.
