I think if you planned around say 6 pm you'd be in a good spot. 

Thank you Rising but this begs these following questions:  If you know this answer, then why doesn't the public?  If GW wants me to ask people to come out and they know what time the game will start, why wouldn't they share this prior or simultaneously to announcing a presale on tickets? 

6 pm is pretty firm but not 100%. Like Poog says maybe it is 5 and maybe it is 7 but right now it is in pencil at 6 pm.

To answer your question, there are multiple reasons.

First, believe there is a volleyball game in Smith Center earlier that day at 1 pm. Assume a couple of hours for the volleyball game and a couple of hours to get the facility ready for basketball. No way a game could start before 5 pm anyway but GW may be figuring out how long it will take to change over and have time for warmups etc.

Second, Exhibition games require officials. GW may not have a confirmation of the officials being assigned and available at 6 pm yet.

Third, GW is not nearly the only school or event that does this. If you noticed, the Florida game does not yet have a time assigned to it. In fact, none of Florida's home games have times assigned to them right now. The most likely reason is tv and officials.

Fourth, maybe GW and Georgetown have not yet fully set their practice schedules for the entire Fall. It may be that one or both needs to see when they will practice the day before or even possibly whether the Smith Center will be available for a Georgetown walkthrough.

I think the feeling is that it is better to wait and mark it TBA than to go out with a wrong time which will require multiple notifications and cause some people to be upset if they had plans around the game.

I get your frustration but when I tell you 6 pm I am going to be very close if not spot on.

Shame on me for overlooking the volleyball game. GW hosts Dayton Friday night and at 1

Yes, like baseball last year, entrance is now free. More importantly, no bags or backpacks permitted in the Smith Center unless it’s housing diapers.

Looks like Sara Lewis is staying. Good News for the WBB program

@TaliaGoodmanWBB[/url]·2h   NEWS: George Washington’s Sara Lewis has withdrawn her name from the transfer portal, sources told @On3sports. The 6-1 sophomore averaged 7 ppg and 5.5 rpg. TRACKER: [url=https://t.co/StsxDxjlYl]https://on3.com/her/news/on3-2024-2025-womens-basketball-transfer-portal-tracker/…[/url]  [url=https://x.com/TaliaGoodmanWBB/status/1912595356627386709/photo/1]
 

Great news! Had a hint earlier when the team posted pictures advertising to come see next year’s action and one of the pictures was Sara. Congrats to Sara and Coach G.

Great interview with VCU's AD Ed McLaughlin discussing the future of revenue sharing and other items of interest including building plans at VCU. Well worth the listen (unless I screwed up the link)

I’m going to post something that is behind a paywall, so I’m going to give the site a big plug.  There’s a Wordpress site I found not long ago called StaringAtTheFloorboards.Wordpress.com. 

It’s $10 a year for a subscription and if you want to better understand matchups, gamble, or play college basketball DFS, it’s easily worth that small subscription fee. 

Anyway, here’s his preview (which I think is great, though perhaps not giving enough thought to how much we’ll miss Hansen if he doesn’t play).



George Washington will reportedly have everyone available except possibly Hansen per a reliable source, and Boise State should have everyone of consequence in Vegas as well. The Revs work heavily at the rim offensively (98th percentile rim rate per Synergy) through Castro, and shoot the ball sideways from the perimeter, pairing a 97th percentile c&s rate with a 19th percentile efficiency rating. Boise typically islands the post to stay true on the perimeter, but GW is a team you have to help against in the paint, so we’ll see what Rice does. Boise has the same jump shooting issues GW has (95th percentile c&s rate with an even worse efficiency rating), but the Revs are extremely aggressive in their ball screen coverage and post denial, with a ton of high hedging, trapping, and blitzing, something that the Broncos saw a lot of in the MWC, but had very mixed results against (Boise doesn’t really run a ton of PNR, and prefer to post up their big wings, but how those wings shoot on the perimeter against the numbers advantage this Revs defensive structure gives you with two to the ball will likely decide the game). 8.5 seems too high and lean Revs

Understand Hansen is on a long ago planned family vacation out of the N. A. Continent

Hope this groundswell clamor from the kiddie press corps following GW and college basketball lands on receptive ears in Evanston and Foggy Bottom. Now to get Dairy Queen to sponsor the evening and Meghan McKeown to provide guest commentary with our own ThunderDunk PBP guy.

Not as bad as what happened to Maryland at the buzzer. Gee, I feel so bad. 😂
