Let's hope CC can get his first A-10 Tournament win. JC was 1-3 with his only victory against Fordham in 2021.

No way in the second half thatwe will shoot as well as we did and Davidson will shoot as poorly it did in the first half.

Since the Dayton game, Drumgoole from 3 is an embarrassing:
1-8
1-8
0-10
0-6
0-4
5-11
4-11
0-5
0-6 
for a total of 11-69 for a .159 shooting percentage. 
And he is only .295 for the season, which we should remember includes our incredibily weak OCC schedule.  And take away the Dayton game and he is shooting .286 from 3.
Both Autry and Jones have shot much better from 3 than Drumgoole, yet Drumgoole has 76 more attempts from 3 than Autry and 104 more than Jones.   And overall Drumgoole has 90 more field goal attempts than any other player on the team.  Please explain why he keeps shooting 3s or why CC lets him keep shooting 3s.  I know water eventually finds its level, but GW is drowning from his 3-pt attempts, not our opponents.

Let's allow Autrey and Jones to shoot more 3s.  CC made a great find in the portal getting Castro. And Hansen has been a fine role player. But it seems CC overrated Drumgoole and Moss (.239 from 3). He had them both in the starting lineup at the begiinnig of the season. They were above average players at William & Mary and Delaware, but it is clear they are below average in the A-10.

Drumgoole 0 for 8 from 3. GW 5 for 24 from 3. Our 3 point offense not so good when we can’t make 3s. No surprise

Here's my hope I am wrong prediction: 5-13. W - Duquesne, St. Louis, Richmond, UMass, LaSalleL — at Richmond, Dayton, at Rhode Island, at Mason, at UMass, at LaSalle, Mason, at St, Bona, VCU, at Davidson, St. Joe’s, at Loyola, at Fordham.
Not sure how we can do much better (maybe at Richmond),  we look like we are an above average Patriot League team at best. But hey, it's one win better than last season. Unless we improve over the course of the A10 season, I am not sure we are better than last season's team. Last season's win at VCU doesn't look so far like anything that this team could do.  
As I said, I sure hope I am wrong, but it looks like another season of winning against weak teams in the OCC and then heading to the bottom of the A10. 
Where do I get those rose-colored glasses of posters seeing 8, 9 or 10 wins?

As always, Piranha with an exceptional preview. He is good enough to make it the board a paid site. Wish I was as confident as he is about tonight's game. AU's continuity in the lineup and home court advantage will be tough to overcome.

How about instead of thinking we should have upset Kansas State. we win at American on Wednesday night.  Last two times (12/10/22 and 11/12/19) we played AU it was at the Smith Center and we lost both times.
When we start winning easily at American and at Old Dominion (Saturday) we can go back to complaining about the weak schedule.

3 pt. shooting percentage: 17 -- 25

Hope I missed it what I didn't hear. Correct if I am wrong. But it was frustrating watching the telecast last night and having  Patsos and Wallace  not give any information on Jacoi's injury. Were the announcers clueless or not smart enough to ask for viewers about Jacoi's injury? Gee, I think GW fans would want to know about the injury to Jacoi. How did it happen? What was the injury? When might he play again? Lots of questions.  Wallace didn't even ask Caputo about the injury in the post-game interview. (Ok, I might have missed a mention during the constant blather from Patsos on Loyola basketball and a 1,000 other subjects that he tries to string together that few people care about. (Does he get paid for each name he mentions?)
Thankfully, CC, when asked, explained Jacoi's injury in his post-game press conference.
And one question for the board. Wallace and Patsos said Dayan wasn't eligible until last night, but I never heard them explain why he wasn't eligible. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Why explain anything when you can blather on  forvever? I thought Dayan was inujured. 
So was he injured or ineligible?

The failure to make 3pt shots has be deeply concerning at this point. Yes, it is early, but 24 per cent against three weak teams, which puts us 350th in the NCAA does not bode well for the season. It's not like we have been playing great defensive teams that have stopped us from making  3s. As has been said on the board already, if we can't make 3pt shots opponents will be able to collapse on us making it more difficult to score under the basket. If we can't make 3s against our weak non-conference opponents, it will be a long, long A-10 season.

another Enormous signing for former GW top assistant Pikiell and the rising Rutgers program
Top-50 forward Chris Nwuli announced his commitment to Rutgers on Sunday, giving the Scarlet Knights their first ESPN 100 prospect of the 2025 class.Steve Pikiell's program didn't get involved in Nwuli's recruitment until recently, extending a scholarship offer in late September after not being included on Nwuli's list of six finalist schools in August."I chose Rutgers because I love the way the coaching staff made me feel welcome, and the East Coast is where I want to be," Nwuli told ESPN. "I love the energy of the staff. Coach Pikiell breathes basketball, and he cares about his players. He is hard on his guys in practice and encourages them to be better players and people."A 6-foot-7 forward, Nwuli is ranked No. 41 in the ESPN 100 for the class of 2025.

 Nwuli is one of the more explosive athletes in the senior class. He has quick-twitch ability to get off the ground with great burst and elevation, and his second jump is effective because it enables him to get easy points on putbacks or block shots at the other end. He's a lob threat, especially in transition, and he's versatile defensively with his lateral quickness and ability to cover ground.

Arguing about how weak our schedule is seems silly when the last few years we can't beat or have trouble beating the weak teams on our schedule. So here's an idea: Before we complain about the quality of opponents, how about we improve our quality. Two losses straight losses to AU means we aren't even the second best team in DC. And look at the teams we have lost to in recent years -- for example --Radford, Missouri State, UMass Lowell. Ane when we win at home, we can't even win by double  digits   -- for example last year: Navy, Alcorn St. UMES and Bill & Mary. And then there is this: We finished last in the A-10 last season.
