Nya Morris commits to George Washington per her Instagram. The 5’9 guard is transferring from Claflin (DII) where she was named CIAA POY, CIAA All-Backcourt and made the D2CCA All-American Team. She averaged 20.2 ppg, 4.5 rebs, and scored 525 points this season.

Thanks for the news FC. Got us a Nya back.

A decent number of kids (more than 7) visiting GW over the next few days thru the weekend. Should have some answers soon.

Is that HM power forward you mentioned earlier off now or still likely?

 Not off but some problems have arisen with paperwork/admissions. I am told they are surmountable but not done yet.

I had really hoped that with Granberg and Lipitz rowing in the same direction that some of these typical GW admissions complications wouldn’t continue to block otherwise qualified students. When a team can’t enroll a 3 year graduate of Duke without turning itself into a pretzel to satisfy the admissions process, then something is dysfunctional at the university that holds itself in much higher academic regard than the rest of the world. Don’t know what the particulars are in this instance but I’ve heard enough horror stories over the years to lean toward thinking this is just another self-inflicted impediment beyond our tuition cost to competing with our conference peers.

Gar Alperovitz would have fit right in with this message board.

Sara Lewis has entered the portal, citing "coaching change". 
I would have thought players would wait to see who the successor is, but apparently not.

Bummer. As I said to friends yesterday at the game as the second half descended into acceptance, “Can’t even know how to look forward to next year. No idea who will be back.” Already started on the women’s side. Wonder if they’ll still be called the Revolutionaries with all the changes coming with a new coach. Well, maybe that aspect wouldn’t be so bad.

McCombs needs to start winning some games, especially when they are at home. Finding small positives each game in year 4 isn't where GW WBB should be as a program. Not looking forward to getting demolished again by Mason and their whiny coach.

do we miss Rizzotti yet? At least in her first four years you got meaningful postseason basketball and a pair of championships
 

Did you say that? With holdover Tsipis players, GW tied for 1st and lost 1st round games in the A-10 and WNIT tourneys in year 1 and finished 5th in the conference but won the A-10 tourney and then lost badly to Ohio State in the 1st round of the NCAA’s in Rizzotti’s year 2. In year 3 GW finished 8th and lost 1st game in A-10 tourney and improved to finishing 7th and losing their 1st tourney game again in year 4. In her final year 5, GW finished 10th and went 1-1 in the A-10 tourney. So no, we don’t miss Rizzotti yet nor the way she trashed the program on her way out. Props to Mayowa, Faith, and Essence for sticking around despite the failures of the program during Rizzotti’s tenure.

Lafayette has a nice campus. 

Lafayette, you are here.
 

I have no problems scheduling a home and home with Army. Iconic institution with Bobby Knight and Coach K in their pedigree. The trip to West Point alone is a worthy destination for the players to absorb and appreciate. College is about learning. Attend an Army-Navy football game or visit one of the academy campuses and it's an experience and memory that lasts a lifetime. I've gotten over the return of ROTC to campus after we kicked them out during my student years. Good on GW and Caputo for this scheduling.

Can't speak to NET rankings, but per Ken Pom, Columbia, at 8-0, is ranked at 137, which is worse than GW at 129.   There are no other teams with 0 or 1 loss that is ranked lower than GW.    GW's OOC SOC is an embarassing 358 of 364.   Of the teams with a worse OOC SOC is Columbia (362) and power 5 teams, DePaul (dead last at 364), Missouri at 361, Utah at  363 and Ge**getown (at 359).   Despite the worse SOC, Depaul at 7-0 is ranked 95, Missouri is 61 is ranked 61, Utah at 61- is ranked 60 and Ge**getown at 7-1 is 87.   

Bottom line, these rankings are a joke. Since we’re not in line for an at-large berth in the tourney, not gonna worry about it this year. Play the games on the schedule, win as many as you can, enjoy or complain about the season.  Start with a win tonight in Bender.

Does anyone know if there's a block of tickets for the AU game available through the GW ticket office? If I remember correctly, in the past there have been tickets behind the visitor's bench that could be purchased through the GW box office.

Needs to be purchased through AU ticket office. Section 116 behind visitor's bench is the recommended section.
