Lining the teams up as evenly as possible here... Rowan, Montgomery, Bristol, Fielder, Cook VS Epps, Bacote, Grant, Styles, Mutombo Subs: Asadallah, Kazor, Muresan Out: Massoud, Heath Let's hope they don't run "starters" against the bench. One of Montgomery, Grant, and Bacote is probably going to have to play a little bit coming out of the gates here -- so it'll be nice to see them run a little bit, I guess. Umm... |

My son went to the scrimmage -- here's his summary: "Not a full house but loud! Gray team won. Jayden Epps the one to watch." added a photo I can't get to paste here. McDonough dark with cool lighting during player intros.

Couldn’t fill McDonough with free tickets, wow. Friday night of Halloween is not the best time to do something like this. Thursday would've been better. |

Wonder if Pitino could have filled McD tonight? 🤔 These students have only seen a handful of BE wins over the past two seasons.

Excuses much? Friday night before Halloween every year is always the craziest party night on college campuses. Sorry you apparently were not invited to any, otherwise you would know this. |

Sorry you apparently were not invited to any, otherwise you would know this. What is the Saturday night before Halloween like? The Wednesday? The Monday? Pretty clear nobody on campus is excited about Coach Cooley and his Hoyas. But can’t wait til next year when he gets to use all the NIL money we have! |

The students at Gtown right now were in elementary and middle school the last time we went to the NCAA tournament, and in middle school and high school the last time we had a winning record. And you want a guy who has been here 7 months to turn all that around and fill put 2200 butts in seats for a scrimmage on a Friday night? And, BTW the night wouldn't have mattered. We can suggest better nights to have held the event but you'd be missing the point. The kids have only been on campus for 2 months during which there's been some buzz -- most of us agree that EC and Co. have done decent to pretty great outreach to students and the bigger community -- and exactly ZERO games have been played. What exactly were you expecting, and why do feel the need to panic and badmouth the whole thing? It took a bunch of years to reach the low point of the program -- it's gonna take time to straighten it out and get good again.
Apparently the "gotta be patient" and "this is gonna happen, but it's going to take some time" chats have once again been thrown out, and those who choose to let their impatience and frustration with the last 7 years have decided to go all negative on Cooley because they didn't fill McDonough on a Friday night. Says to me that you won't change minds and hearts that have had little to be excited about in MBB here for a long time in the 2 months since school started and no games have been played. Get real. Understand that the way real life works -- real change takes time, and all indications are that we are heading in a positive direction that will get us back to great basketball on the Hilltop in the coming years. Don't let your skepticism and snark prevent you from enjoying this season and this group of players this year. They're going to play hard and represent us well -- have some fun and support them!
11 days, people -- let's go!!!
