For the record, the seven countries are not listed in Trump's executive order. They were named by Obama administration last year. Not defending or saying I agree with Trump's order, but where was your outrage last year when Obama chose to treat immigrants differently from these seven countries? link

Going with the notion that the absurd, desperate hype around this kid turns out to be warranted, a point guard needs players to pass to correct? With LJ almost certainly gone, I really don't know who that will be if this coach comes back and returning roster is intact next season. Maybe Derrickson? Govan only scores from the 3 point line and we don't need a great pg to get him the ball up there. Even if this kid is the bees knees, he won't have much to work with and will be playing in a failing system. I just don't see it. And this post was not directed pointedly at you - just the sentiment among some here that a very good point guard will change much. God I hope they're right, but I have major doubts. next season no new coach will be able to bring in anyone in time anyway. But people act as though he forgot how to coach. I think this team has a heart problem and the 2 guys coming in have shown they have that. We run pick and rolls and virtually never look to pass to the big man rolling to the hoop. And Govan and Hayes have bad hands anyway. Just have Waters run to a pick and have Govan and Derrickson pop for 15 footers, which both can consistently make. It's not that complicated, but I'm afraid this coach will revert to this quasi-Princeton offense or whatever nonsense you want to call it and waste Waters' talent.

Ed Cooley owns JTIII...looking at 1-7 in the NBE That's just bad. And we couldn't find an Ed Cooley type out there to coach? We really are scared of change. This is worse for fans than with Esh 14 years ago. At least then there was a glimmer of hope that the administration would see the light and make a change. I just don't see it happening so long as big John is alive.

We are now about to hear the commissioner talk for five minutes about the strength of BE basketball. We'll hear about Villanova, Xavier, Creighton, Butler. Probably Providence, too. Georgetown will not be mentioned. So sad. This is my 39th year following Georgetown basketball. This is the bottom of the bottom.

Esteban Santiago-Identified as the shooter, 26 year old male According to Senator Nelson, the shooter had military identification. DallasHoya's daughter landed at FLL this morning and left baggage claim 17 minutes before the shooting started. Thank God her flight was on time.

My first thought at the beginning of tonight's telecast, when they said that GU would be facing an unexpected depth problem tonight, was that someone else decided to leave the team and didn't make the trip. What's sad is that it wouldn't be all that surprising.
Please no referring to Govan again in the same paragraph with Ewing. In any context. Ever. Govan makes Grady Mateen look tough.
Before the game I told someone how much Peak had improved from last year, when he drove recklessly to the lane whenever he could and then couldn't finish. Not so fast.
The use of TOs by this coach is ridiculous. Provy calls a TO with about 2:30 left and then scores. JTIII immediately calls his own TO. To what end? Did he forget to call a play ten seconds earlier?
The one bright spot is MD, who is a stud now that he's healthy. I hope he sticks around to play with Waters. But if this coach tries to have Waters run the same offense we do now, no recruit worth a damn will ever want to play here so long as he's the coach.

This team needs about 15 things right now. Any of them would be a welcome addition. But none of them (alone) would fix things. This is a mess. This team is a high level PG away from being good. Pryor and Marcus would be deadly shooting wide open 3's. If you give them a PG and a new offense (coach) this team has the talent to beat most anyone. But unfortunately that isnt the case. You do realize the Georgetown game is on FS1?

This team has no room for error. Both Peak and Pryor have to play well, and a third player has to get into double figures. When only Pryor plays well, this is what happens.

You were complaining about the lack of a "cogent, non-partisan argument" by students from "the nation's best foreign school." I was giving you a recent example of an idiotic, partisan argument of a current professor at that school. That's maybe where those students got their debating skills.

For a school with the nation's best foreign service school, I was hoping that our right-leaning posters would be able to present some sort of cogent, non partisan argument here. Instead, we gets the same rubes posting ad hominem attacks with little to no analysis of the situation at all. While I won't get into an argument on the merits of this debate, I would point out that SFS professors like this aren't exactly setting the best example. SFS professor loses it online

I don't recall the Ewing Era. I was very young and not interested in college hoops at the time. I had to rely on watching Ewing highlights on TV over the years, buying DVDs of games from NCAA Sports and seeing more footage via YouTube. So I haven't seen all of his career at GU. But from what I have viewed doesn't suggest he was was more skilled, a better shooter or as automatic at the free throw line as Govan is. This shouldn't even be in discussion. With the possible exception of Ralph Sampson, Patrick Ewing was the dominant college center of his generation, bar none--not (H)Akeem Olajuwon, not Karl Malone, not Mel Turpin, not Keith Lee, none of them. Ewing shot 63% from the floor and was all but impenetrable on defense. Free throws weren't the priority for the Thompson teams of that era--in large part, GU didn't need free throws to win its games. The team averaged 65% on the line and Ewing averaged 62%. Jessie Govan is a year and a half into his college career and there is room to improve, but the two are not in the same discussion. After 45 games, Govan averages 7.8 points and 4.8 rebounds a game--good for 29th in the Big East in scoring. In his first 45 games, Patrick Ewing was already an All-American and averaged 12.8 points and 7.7 rebounds. One more stat: in his first 45 games, the 6-11 Govan has 49 blocks. In 45 games, Patrick Ewing had over 130. Another stat: People always talk about Ewing's performance in the 1982 title game by mentioning the 5 goaltending calls in the first 5 minutes. They forget that Ewing shot 10-15 from the field, 3-3 from the line, for 23 points and 11 rebounds while playing 37 minutes being guarded by Sam Perkins and James Worthy. As a freshman. I really like Govan. He may be an NBA first rounder some day. But last year he averaged less than 7 points per game as a freshman.

I agree there's (rightly) bipartisan support for investigating Russia's hacking of the DNC, etc. Why wasn't there bipartisan support for investigating other foreign government's contributions to the Democratic candidate's "foundation"? Deflection > Truth.... No idea what Hillary Clinton has to do with Russian involvement in this election but you seem to have a desire to change the subject to anything else for some odd reason. www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2016/nov/06/newt-gingrich/gingrich-hillary-clinton-broke-law-foreign-clinton/Trump financial entanglements, him owing allegedly billions to foreign banks, and him not disclosing his taxes must really keep you up at night.. Who said anything about Hillary Clinton being tied to any Russian involvement in this election? I already wrote that Russian hacking should be investigated, and Trump's idiotic tweets and financial entanglements do bother me. But where was all your outrage and daily postings about a foreign government literally handing a million dollar check to spouse of a presidential candidate?

No argument from me at all. Do I believe that Russia was involved in hacking the DNC and releasing its emails? Probably. Is there evidence that the actual voting was hacked? I haven't seen any, and Obama administration agreed. Investigation is one thing, but too many on the left are using this as another way to preemptively de-legitimize a Trump presidency before it starts. Are you? And I didn't mock Obama for referencing the 80's. I referenced for him for mocking Romney, who according to what many on the left apparently now believe, was correct. Can something not be true in 2012 but true in 2016? I don't understand your point this is about what's going on in 2016. What does that tidbit have to do with the current "truth" you supposedly seek? You keep framing this as left vs right and it's not. Or it should not be imo...Some Republicans recently are sounding the alarm as well. You responded to me quoting one.. I agree there's (rightly) bipartisan support for investigating Russia's hacking of the DNC, etc. Why wasn't there bipartisan support for investigating other foreign government's contributions to the Democratic candidate's "foundation"?

I was thinking more of Kaleb and its effect on Keldon. For the most improved player, he's seeing little pt. I'm guessing JT3 knows the early record is not good, and will run his best players to the ground to get the now-crucial Ws. What effect will that have in March? Stay tuned. If anything this will open more time for Mourning. And frankly I though Mourning was playing much better than Copeland was at the 4. I still think though that the major mistake was not playing Copeland at the 3 exclusively where he would have a size advantage. JTIII couldn't play Copeland as a three because he had zero handle, which is a necessity for a three in college ball.

He couldn't defend, he had no ability to beat his man off the dribble, he rebounded based on jumping ability alone, and his shot got worse with each game. He just doesn't appear to be as talented as his ranking. Derrickson has NBA talent based on his size and range, both of which are substantially better than Copeland, and ought to get as many minutes as his health permits. Hate to say addition by subtraction, but other than depth what have we really lost?
I would also add that if you had seen the way team mobbed LJ after he got the MVP award in Miami, there is no way you could say that JTIII has lost this team.

Whoever said I supported Trump? It's just liberal hypocrisy that I can't stand. They know quite well what treason really is. Dallas it's 2016 Ted Kennedy's been deceased for 7 years. You just mocked Obama for referencing the 80's and here you are referencing the 80's while bemoaning liberal hypocrisy. What is the argument against a Bi-partisan investigation into this? No argument from me at all. Do I believe that Russia was involved in hacking the DNC and releasing its emails? Probably. Is there evidence that the actual voting was hacked? I haven't seen any, and Obama administration agreed. Investigation is one thing, but too many on the left are using this as another way to preemptively de-legitimize a Trump presidency before it starts. Are you?
