Yeah, maybe the most inept coach in the history of the game suddenly learned how to coach for a five minute stretch. If that happened, it is quite fitting that he forgot whatever he learned just as quickly. That’s probably what happened. In your opinion |

I would love to be 22-10 on Selection Sunday with 15 crappy wins and a SOS in the 300s so that the Selection Committee chair details why we were snubbed out of a bid. Would LOVE it. Unfortunately, we are so far from that right now that any talk about schedule difficulty is meaningless. It is a monumental struggle to beat just about anybody at this point. There is literally no game on the current schedule, conference or OOC, that I can point to right now and say, yep we're definitely winning that game. Terrifying position to be in. We will kill South Carolina. Could be a Green Bay-style beatdown. The Gamecocks just lost by 24 to GW. I also think there are plenty of winnable games in the Big East. DePaul currently in OT against Stamford and Providence was destroyed by TCU tonight. We should also beat Siena and Syracuse without much problem. Boya, slow down one game at a time. You know as well as the rest of us that we could lose any game OOC or BE nothing guaranteed. |

I think from the second half of UMBC on, we've done better in closeouts on the 3. Halftime warmups in the UMBC game were,something I've never seen before, half devoted to closeout drills.
I have, over the same 1.5 games, seen improvement in motion on offense. Just using a dummies' method of counting seconds when Primo is dribbling, the ball is sticking less.
Ezewiro', to me, earned much future playing time, in part because my biggest concern is our rebounding.

Stonewalls was also the name of the semi-official supporter group based in 118. 118 was the young alum section, but I honestly don’t even know if that’s the case anymore because no one sits there. Another monument to how far we’ve fallen. |

Why don’t they do giveaways for the whole arena? Some cool shirts or bobble heads or anything like that could put some more butts into seats. Do other schools do that kind of stuff?

DePaul currently in OT against Stamford and Providence was destroyed by TCU tonight. We should also beat Siena and Syracuse without much problem. I stand by my original statement. Hoyaboya predicted we would go undefeated in OOC so there is that... It's obvious his intent, portray the OOC as being awful (which he doesn't need to continue to state because we all can recognize it's awful)... Then if the team had done well it was because of the schedule and if the team does poorly Ewing is a mess that can't win against an awful schedule... What I don't get is why go through with all that effort...Ewing is awful is it statistically a fact...everyone on the board w/the exception of 3 people can see that, it's painfully obvious...we don't need the charade from anyone on here that predicting their going to win with the hope they don't...if the fear is Ewing beats Sienna and Cuse all of a sudden the entire board sees him as a good coach, trust me they won't. It's not the posters on this board that need to realize any of this it's the GU athletic administration to come to their senses... |

Big win for Northwestern yesterday. On the road yet. Big one from a perception standpoint for Chris Collins, for sure. Big win in reality? Not really - Michigan State is 5-4 this season and ranked #92 in the NET. They're not a very good team and people that follow college basketball know that. Same thing will happen when we beat Syracuse next weekend. From a perception standpoint, it will help Ewing, since Syracuse is still a big name. Syracuse is #181 in the NET. |

Big difference between Syracuse and Michigan St is Syracuse isn't going to be ranked. Michigan State's schedule wasn't exactly the easiest hence why they were ranked at the time with a good win over Kentucky and losses to Alabama and Gonzaga. Their past week wasn't good for sure and they will fall out of the rankings but it is still a win versus a team in the top 25 on the road so what Quad does that put it in? |

Highlighted by CBS Sports nationally for our weak schedule: "College basketball schedules 2022-23: Teams with the easiest slates this season Every year there are teams in college basketball that schedule aggressively in the nonconference. And, every year, there's teams that do quite the opposite. Today, after highlighting the former earlier in the week, we're going to highlight the latter... Schedule thoughts: Under Patrick Ewing, Georgetown has scheduled soft for years. And this season? Well, it's not much different. The Big 12-Big East battle against No. 25 Texas Tech is really its only saving grace here. That's the only team on the Hoyas' nonconference schedule even generating votes in the AP Top 25 preseason poll. It's probably going to be an ugly season regardless for the Hoyas but the nonconference slate is equally ugly." www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaabk/college-basketball-schedules-2022-23-teams-with-the-easiest-slates-this-season/ar-AA13KBb5"With Tuesday’s humiliating 84-50 loss in Ames, it became readily apparent that this may be the worst Texas Tech basketball team in some time. With the loss, Texas Tech fell to 0-4 in Conference play and is tied with West Virginia at the rock bottom of the conference standings. It is mid-January and this Texas Tech team doesn’t have a single Quad One or Two win and isn’t even in the bubble conversation... A big problem for this team, and one that has plagued Tech for years, is that they had an extremely easy non-conference. Now this one wasn’t as intentional as others, they did play in the Maui Invitational, and had a guaranteed Big 12-Big East Showdown. However, in Maui, they lost to a then top 10 Creighton team, that has since fallen to 9-8, and Ohio State who’s decent. But their two wins against Power Six programs are against programs that used to be giants and have since fallen apart in Louisville and Georgetown. Louisville currently sits at 2-14, and Georgetown has gone years without winning a Big East game. That means between November 23rd and December 31st, Texas Tech didn’t play a single Quad one game, before playing in the toughest conference in the nation." www.heartlandcollegesports.com/2023/01/12/something-needs-to-change-in-lubbock-and-quickly/ |

Georgetown certainly has a say in which tournament it chooses to play. The Hoyas knew, when choosing to play in the Jamaica Classic, that it would be a much worse field than other tournaments. It's the risk you take when you play the Jamaica Classic rather than Maui or the Jimmy V Classic (as examples). The Chaminade example is not a great one because even if a team draws Chaminade in Maui, it's still guaranteed to play 2 other top 100 teams - and most likely, those 2 other top 100 teams will actually be top 50 teams. That's not the case at the Jamaica Classic. Not to nitpick, but Chaminade is NOT a Division I program. So, Chaminade actually has no impact on a schedule. I'd rather play Chaminade than Green Bay, because Chaminade doesn't hurt your strength of schedule, but Green Bay does. One of these games isn't the end of the world, but it's also easy to play bad teams that are better. If you have to schedule Green Bay because you are worried about losing to a team like Dartmouth, you've already lost the battle in trying to get an at-large bill in principle. I am crossing my fingers that this is the only one. It's possible to overcome one of these, but not multiple like we had in fall 2017. "Green Bay fired Will Ryan three days after the Phoenix suffered their 11th consecutive loss... “UW-Green Bay is committed to continuing its legacy as an outstanding Division I athletics program in the future, and Phoenix men’s basketball needs to help lead the way as we work to elevate all of our programs and be a shining light for this region and beyond,” athletic director Josh Moon said in a news release announcing the move." collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2023/01/24/green-bay-fires-will-ryan-after-11th-straight-loss/ |
