GW Men's Hoops » Grades » 4/05/2024 8:44 am |
I think the grades were pretty fair. I think we all had slightly higher expectations for the team based on what you see in the recruiting process but as we all know - it changes when they actually hit the court. And it changes even more once the team gets scouted which is certainly what happened during the A-10 season. Teams figured out our big weakness (playing 4 on 5 on offense with Stretch) and we were then doomed.
Stretch C+ - played his strengths very well but never could develop any offense which made him a liability.
JAmes - B- he was never a strong defender but his offense alone (and threat of his offense) kept us in a lot of games
Jacoi - A- for a freshman he really grew
Darren - A - what growth, he carries us a lot
Max - based on expectations and what he could have been - D. His body language allowed teams to play off him knowing he was disengaged, he let that affect his defense which was matador like at times

Has Coach mentioned Benny in the last few pre-game notes? Did not notice him on the bench at all the last few games I attended and he was not in the box scores that I noticed.

That is awesome. What a great use of the collective. Would be great if other parts of the GW community would join in this grass roots efforts as well.
Great Job Darren!!!

Well written post. Wasn’t SI the original “Sidd Finch” April Fools article? As a Mets fan, they had me fooled for sure.

Missed my 2nd game in a row ….and both wins at home. Not that I am superstitious but I may not be attending the rest of the year. 😂

Is the box score right? 2 D-1 teams a combined 17-39 from the free throw line?!? Did we replace the rims with the small ones used at the state fair booth for free throws?!?

Hearing VCU fans complain about fouls…..after years of hacking that they called defense…is just hilarious
Knowing VCU fans, proud of James talking to them after the game. Am sure they were all “polite” the entire game

Agree with balance league. Loyola 2-0 and VCU 0-2. And both losses at home!!!

Bishop has unbelievable composure and always wants the ball in his hands. Man

Post game presser very classy but some significant shots at the poor refereeing esp in OT. His last comment that he had nothing to do and would stay as long as he needed to was very sharp - wonder if he knows one of the refs had a flight out

Exciting game, disappointing at the end but what a game to watch in person.
Benny would have helped give us a few.
LSF - I think Harvey is a great kid and ambassador for the school- not an A10 level player. Very slow on defense - would not be able to stay with their bigs or handle the pick and roll. Not even close to a good option even for a few minutes. He will only see the floor in blowouts.

Some were open looks but then they started making contested 3s which was just nuts.

Our freshman getting a lesson in physical A10 basketball. Fordham being very aggressive on defense. Refs not calling much either way but we are looking for fouls where Fordham is just muscling through

2two- agreed 100%. Tons of talent - still think next year is our year to really compete if we can get a big.
It will be a trying year with patience as they all make “freshman” mistakes. Benny learning he can’t drive past smaller defenders - they will pick his pocket. He will
Learn to shoot the short jumper more and use the euro step.
Our young guards will learn not to get into the paint where the larger opposition can smother.
Am thinking a 500 record in conference is a realistic goal. Lots of talent but there will be a ton of mistakes

With Max out our defense is a lot better. He just not on his game today
GW Men's Hoops » GW beats Maryland-ES Game » 12/30/2023 4:52 pm |
Max is really struggling, forcing shots early in clock and then upset as the coach removes him from game. Something to keep an eye on going forward.

Wow - what a bad half of defense
