Not sure about NET but there a few key points I'd like to see this year and next:
24-25: Above .500, Kenpom above 150, win 1 A-10 tournament game (not including play-in round)
25-26: 20 wins, Kenpom around 100, top 6 in A-10, win 2 A-10 tournament games (I don't think this has been done in over a decade)
Progress isnt linear but I think if we can somehow keep the young core together and add a few pieces as needed each year these are reasonable goals. The biggest thing for me is winning some games in the tournament, since I started following the team my freshman year in 2019 I have only bad memories of the tournament with the only win coming in what was possibly one of the worst basketball games I've ever seen when we played Fordham in the play-in game of the COVID season. I most notably remember getting embarrassed by Umass after they fired McCall then preceded to drop nearly 100 on us when we were playing what was effectively a home game at Capital One. I was out on Jamion after that.

I still like to see who's in the mix even if the majority of these players don't end up here. Not sure why anyone would think anything is remotely solid when we are listed alongside 25 other schools.

How about you stop hiding behind a fake name and come say that to my face at the next game. I'll be in section 205.

Article in wahington business journal today about filings for this new facility. Construction begins in October 2024 and ends in August 2025. https://www.bizjournals.com/washington/news/2023/12/29/gwu-smith-center-basketball-practice-court.html?csrc=6398&taid=659149bd499051000173b713&utm_campaign=trueAnthemTrendingContent&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter

Got around the paywall here is the content of the article:George Washington University has filed plans to decommission the Charles E. Smith Center pool and replace it with a new double-height practice facility for its men’s and women’s basketball teams.
The project, designed by DLR Group, is expected to increase the Smith Center’s gross floor area by 1,485 net square feet, per the application. It will appear from G Street NW as a nine-foot-deep bumpout that generally resembles the existing facade, but with improvements inside and out including insulated glazing, a new high-efficiency HVAC system and LED lighting.
More importantly, GWU writes in its application, the practice facility will “allow the University to remain competitive with its peers” — Georgetown University was approved for similar facilities some 16 years ago — while bringing an end to the existing game of musical chairs across the Foggy Bottom campus that takes place during conflicting events.
“When there are conflicts, practice for the basketball programs is displaced to the Lerner Health and Wellness Center’s courts, which in turns displaces use of those facilities by other members of the University population,” per the application.The bumpout for the new Smith Center practice court will appear like the rest of the facade.The Lerner Health and Wellness Center at 2301 G St. NW serves the general university population but also as a backup for intercollegiate athletics when the Smith Center is unavailable.
The 5,000-seat Smith Center, 600 22nd St. NW, was constructed in the mid-1970s and renovated in 2011. It is the primar

We open as 8.5 point favorites. Do with that information what you will

Looks like he has landed in Italy's Lega A coaching Pallacanestro Trieste. Interesting and unexpected spot to say the least. https://twitter.com/PallTS/status/1678761428243873792?s=20

Saw the first half of Darren's game. Like what I saw: Active defense forcing at least one turnover and solid shot contests. Very good at backing down defenders (they were the same size or smaller than him). Good ball handling and passing. I know it's only kenner league but I feel like he played as expected for a player who had his pedigree coming out of high school

Similarly easy schedule to last year. I think we win at least one of the away games against Dayton/VCU/SLU too

You are saying a lawyer has to approve a simple email that says "We are actually doing stuff"? This whole thing has been a giant mess and the fact that not a single person has said anything from FOG in months is hilarious

Students hate all of them except revs. Some kids like fog but is not a lot. Would be shocked if its not revolutionaries
