I think so Dude.  And Princeton vs Georgetown the greatest near upset in the 64 team era.

I was born and raised around the corner from St. Peter’s and lived in that neighborhood through 8th grade.  So proud and happy for them.

And all of a sudden everyone in the country knows St. Peter’s.  Their applications will be way up next year locally, and their social channels are way up.  Winning basketball is way better than any marketing or advertising the school could ever do.

I agree with both FQ and Funger on this.  The A-10 is deep, but also very flat.  Definitely not one of the worst years for the conference performance wise.  A bunch of good teams but not great teams.  Out of the eight Top 100 A-10 teams on KenPom, only one is Top 50 (St. Louis at #31).  Top 50 is traditionally where you get into NCAA at large teams.  50-80 is NIT territory, as it past years the regular season champs in conferences that don’t go to the NCAAs get NIT auto bids, so only 16 or so of the 32 NIT spots are at large.

I can’t believe I missed this “good vibe” game yesterday.  So I don’t have any insight on it, but we come on here and complain bitterly when the team doesn’t play well, so they deserve all the credit for when they do get a big blowout W on the road.  Great way to end 2020, hopefully with a little momentum.  It is only one data point against the worst (or second worst) team in the A-10, but have any “addition by subtraction” theories floated around yet with the team’s minutes and clearer, more defined roles driving the result?

BM is onto something interesting posting about the KenPom Luck metric.  My understanding is it not actually a measure of luck (losing out on 50/50 balls, failing to convert two chances to win on the last possession with the ball in your hands, etc).  It is actually a measurement of the performance of each team relative to his statistical projections (i.e. expectations).  And by that measure, we are the next to worst team in Division I in performance vs projected performance.  The only team worse than us (and by far) is 1-5 Kentucky, whose season is also an absolute dumpster fire.  Also interestingly, #1 in the nation in this measurement is 3-1 Navy, who I guess was supposed to be absolutely terrible but beat us and just recently beat Georgetown on the road.  So if you ever wanted to debate performance vs expectations, here is the statistical source to help drive that discussion.  We are officially suffering through (and supporting) one of the most disappointing programs in the country out of 357 teams!

OMG, are you kidding me.  Don’t even get a shot off.  I actually thought we were going to commit a five second violation because Bishop let himself get trapped on the sideline.  I can’t even imagine what that locker room is like right now.

Prior to coming to GW, Coach Christian never won a game against a top-100 KenPom school.  He was 0-30 combined at MSM and Siena.  Here at GW, he is 2-9, all last year, the two wins being the 4-OT game vs #70 Davidson and a win at #95 Duquesne.

Thank you for posting GW0509!  Well, at least Coach isn’t sugar coating the poor result and the disappointment.  He is still saying all the right things.

Because I graduated from here, that’s really the only reason Mentz.  We’ve hit rock bottom.  My wife’s side is Seton Hall.  Thank God for The Hall right now.

Do we think they let Coach Christian go if the team winds up having, say, a 5-20 or a 6-19 season?  I can only hope they pull together as a team.  They are not playing together and it is beyond painful.  I’m tuning in as a die hard fan but you are going to see some frustrated posting on this board if we’re going to watch another 20 games like this.
