San Diego St and Florida Atlantic to the Final 4!!

As good a year as there's been for the non Power 5s, even as the Committee pushes every last one possible out of the field

7 of the 9 rotation players for San Diego St are seniors.

Agree with those who are expressing continuity as the key for GW (and really any program)  a few select Power 5s can do it with mostly tranfers, that's never going to work at GW. 

I would say about Kansas St... a very small school initially landed 5'8 Nowell out of NYC, (Little Rock) nothing stopping GW or any other upper level Mid Major from finding diamonds in the rough like that.  That is as much a key to winning as anything

Headline is he’s set to make $1 million / year. Hope GW is aware that if Fordham can afford that, we can too.

I don't think it's a matter of affording. I think it's a matter of willingness to support the program.

And we make national news again for the name change.New York Times now which should bring more out of the woodwork.
Too depressing to link,but someone with a strong stomach can. Summary:Colonials very,very bad.
No opponents of the name change quoted,but those pushing it are featured.
  Spot the new wrinkle on why the Colonial name is so horrible.

Big thing about FAU is all these guys played together last year. It wasn’t some portal magic.

So for GW to ever do it, we really need some roster consistency. Not gonna happen until 24-25 at a minimum.

It’s why SLU and Dayton were so disappointing this year. They actually brought back their key guys and should’ve been FAU.

If Florida Atlantic, why not GW?

Not to mention Miami seems to have a formula for winning in March with 3 guards, a terrific glue guy sf, and one great big.  Could definitely see CC putting that kind of roster together for us (not that we have the NiL for the same level of talent, but we can get good players to play CC’s system.)

That Uconn/GU game was decided early. Refs scare me.

If Florida Atlantic, why not GW?
