Nice ideas, but I think we are living in a dream world. It's too late to go back in college basketball and football. Let's be honest. Men's college basketball and football sports are essentially pro sports. Money, money, money. When was the last player declared academically ineligible? Colleges can no longer tell players to get an education and then use that degree to get a good job to help your family financially. Players now ask when they are beinig recruited how much will they get paid . Why wait. many of their families could use the money now and not have to wait to use a college degree to get a job that pays them 6 figures a year. College athletes, who aren't ready for the NBA, are staying in school because they can earn more money in school than playing anywhere else. And why should coaches get paid millions while players are not allowed play for a year if they go to a new team? Colleges are hiring players to represent their schools. The first question of may recruits and their familes: What's the pay? The players aren't students first. It's a joke when the NCAA talks about student-athletes. I think we need start coming up with ideas about how big money college sports will deal with collective bargaining, unions, salaried players and salary caps etc. 
Thanks for reading.

Bishop 1 for 7 … ugh

Portal fun begins March 18 and ends with portal closing May 1.

Terrible call.

Note no Bishop on floor when we need defense

Was that really our play? Buchanan drive to basket and no passing the ball.

We really need Bishop to step up. Frustrating he is not hitting his shots.

Love his energy, enthusiasm, ability and how he cares for DC. Hope he is back next season.

Handicapping the transfer portal is a dangerous game. What should happen and what often does happen are likely two very different things. Too many voices in these kids ears - some of them without the best motives. As a result, you should assume that absolutely no one is a lock to stay or leave. After that, just sit back and let the process play out. That's all you can do. 

Absolutely. It's all on CC. Coaches earn their huge salaries now by ususally recruiting one year at a time. CC tried looking to the future with his recruits for this season, which at the time seemed smart. Well, that's over. So now there is no choice -- recruit for each season. That means recruiting the players he wants to stay and recruiting quality players to turn the progtram around. 

Great to have a winning record last season in conference play, but who would have predicted before this season or even after our 3-1 start that we would be headed for last place in the A-10. 

To stay out of the bottom of the A-10 next season, CC, obviously, needs to do some bigtime recruiting in the portal.

In the 1988-89 season, GW entered its home game with umASS on a 13-game losing streak and won.
See, there is a reason to be hopeful.

And here's another reason to be hopeful because we are playing UMass.
In the 2018-19 season we lost 4 in row, beat UMass, lost 5 in row, beat UMass (in the A-10 Tournament). Under MoJo we finished 9-24 (4-14)
The last time we lost 11 in a row was the 2008-09 season under Hobbs. We finished 10-18 (4-12)
