As of today, Otto is second in the NBA in 3 point shooting percentage. Obvious Bust. What a waste of the 3rd overall pick in the draft. Which does beg the question, if you had to do the 2013 draft over again where would Porter be picked? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_NBA_draftMy top 10, Otto still #3. 1. Giannis Antetokounmpo (was 15) 2. CJ McCollum (10) 3. Otto Porter (3) 4. Steven Adams (12) 5. Dennis Schroder (17) 6. Victor Oladipo (2) 7. Rudy Gobert (27) 8. Kelly Olynyk (13) 9. Cody Zeller (4) 10. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (8) |

I would certainly donate to expanding McDonough, but only if there is an airtight guarantee that we will never, ever, ever agree to play ODU in the venue.

Waters. He's like a 5'9" Ditka. He could beat half the teams in the Big East without any teammates on the floor. I once saw him hit 236 3-pointers in a single game. 231 after halftime. What was wrong with him in the first half? |

This must be MCI's day to "enrage" the Dallas contingent on the board, between DFW, DallasHoya and myself. I am absolutely certain that if MCI had seen Patrick play in college he would not suggest an equivalency with Jesse's offensive game.
Context is important here. Patrick played without the shot clock and without the three point shot. Consequently, defenses were packed in and quality bigs seldom got the ball without having their hands attacked from a collapsing wing or guard. In the 1982 Championship game that collapsing wing was Michael Jordan.
Michael Jordan also provides an instructive comparison to put Patrick's scoring in context. It is often remarked that Dean Smith was the only man who could hold Michael Jordan under 20. In Jordan's last year, 1983-4, he averaged 19.6 ppg. That same year Patrick averaged 16.4. When you score at a rate equivalent to 83% of Michael Jordan, you are a great offensive player.

One thing to love is how Marcus is finding his shot. It gives us 4 scorers.

Disappointed that Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje was left off this list. So is MCIGuy. Wonder if he still has his RBB list? Jahidi White - $25.5 |

Talking to some Domers over the weekend, the consensus was that Coach Solomon had some strong family reasons to get to the east coast and that his departure was going to be a real loss for ND. I'm surprised there are ND fans who can name their assistant coach. Somebody needs to be available to put Mike Brey on their shoulders when he is named Coach of the Year. |

except I don't think fan/base attendance is cured easily by a winning team. Even at our height our attendance was mediocre. In addition, it's very clear 1) the fans we have are very fickle good fan bases stick with their team through thick and thin. 2) No matter how decent our fan base becomes we will always be second fiddle to Maryland in the area and way down the pecking order behind the pro teams. As to academic standards how many of the schools listed in the article have them? Maybe Duke. We know the other schools don't. Would you call a school whose attendance ranked in the top 10 percent of Division I "mediocre"? In fact that was Georgetown from 2006-07 through 2012-13. The fan base issue is a direct result of a generation of alumni and local fans where Georgetown tacitly educated them that there is one (and only one) sport that matters and to ignore the rest. This leads to an "all or nothing" approach when it comes to support. You can't just turn on and off the interest like a spigot. When Georgetown continues to send the message to its fans and the local community that its products are either inferior (football), irrelevant (women's basketball) or not worth their time (lacrosse), then the fan base will rise and fall solely as a result of men's basketball and it will continue to suffer as a result. When GU athletics is only "relevant" four months during the year, you'll get a fan base worth four months a year. Creighton draws great for basketball, win or lose, but it's not unique to basketball. Being a Creighton fan is more than showing up to 15 home games in the winter. Saturday's baseball game with the Hoyas drew 8,258 despite it being broadcast statewide on over the air TV and well as the ESPN radio affiliate. By contrast, GU averages an announced crowd of 222 per baseball home game with zero media whatsoever. Are there more than 222 men, women or children in a metro area of 4.6 million who could support one of just two Division I baseball programs remaining in DC? Well, there ought to be. There is a small minority on this board who will suggest that any money spent on sports other than men's basketball is counterproductive and the more money basketball gets, the better. That's a very short-sighted approach. While we on this board have tended to view the new practice facility through the lens of men's basketball, the reality is that the facility is 80% plus about other sports. The women's basketball facilities are as good as the men's and both men's and women's soccer and lacrosse get significant upgrades in terms of locker rooms and team offices. The weight training and medical facilities - for use by all Georgetown athletes are world class. If anything, the men's basketball centered fund raising for the facility will have been used to pull forward the vast majority of GU sports. |

This issue must be front and center on the main Hoyatalk board. Yes, times were different, social mores.... But these were Catholic, Jesuit Priests who did the selling of human beings. 272 human beings. GU has to recognize, acknowledge and take full responsibility. The new Center for Racial Justice is an excellent step. www.georgetown.edu/JJD-racial-injustice-speechIt is enough? From today's NY Times ExcerptWASHINGTON — The human cargo was loaded on ships at a bustling wharf in the nation’s capital, destined for the plantations of the Deep South. Some slaves pleaded for rosaries as they were rounded up, praying for deliverance.
But on this day, in the fall of 1838, no one was spared: not the 2-month-old baby and her mother, not the field hands, not the shoemaker and not Cornelius Hawkins, who was about 13 years old when he was forced onboard.
Their panic and desperation would be mostly forgotten for more than a century. But this was no ordinary slave sale. The enslaved African-Americans had belonged to the nation’s most prominent Jesuit priests. And they were sold, along with scores of others, to help secure the future of the premier Catholic institution of higher learning at the time, known today as Georgetown University.....
“The university itself owes its existence to this history,” said Adam Rothman, a historian at Georgetown and a member of a university working group that is studying ways for the institution to acknowledge and try to make amends for its tangled roots in slavery.
Although the working group was established in August, it was student demonstrations at Georgetown in the fall that helped to galvanize alumni and gave new urgency to the administration’s efforts. -- GOOD for the Students! www.nytimes.com/2016/04/17/us/georgetown-university-search-for-slave-descendants.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=photo-spot-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0You realize there's a long thread over on the 37th & O board on this topic? Here's a link in case you have trouble using your mouse: Click here SirSaxaI don't normally visit the 37th and O board and was unaware of this information. Thanks Sir Saxa. |

Also helps that there was no shot clock in 1985. Allowed the Wildcats to slow down the pace and hold the ball. . .until Jensen was open for a three. It would have had to have been a really long shot clock because Jenson would have had to wait about two years for the three which did not come into play until the 86-87 season. |

From the Department of Inexplicable Statistics.
How in the world did the Hoyas hold Villanova to a (tied for a) season low 55 points in the game at Georgetown?
And, how did Oklahoma hold Nova to 55 the first time they played them and allow 95 in a national semi?
