An NBA scouting report on Terrance:

Possible 2nd Round Pick

Arceneaux is a really intriguing longer term wing prospect who has the size, length and athleticism for the NBA game. He’s a standout multi-position defender who can impact the game without needing the ball in his hands.

He’s really good in transition and as a slasher/cutter to the basket.

Shows promise as a floor-spacer but still has work to do. Isn’t the most creative with the ball in his hands and is best playing off the ball.

This sounds like a tremendous recruit one who would solve our interior defense problems immediately if healthy.

I said at the time I didn’t like the extension and my fears have come true. CC did a good job of getting the team back to no longer being a joke, so he should get some credit for that. However, this year clearly shows he’s not the guy that could complete for an A-10 title (regular season or tournament). Sadly, with the extension we’ll be stuck with this for a few more years. Not sure it matters, this administration has consistently proved so incompetent that I doubt they’ll get the next hire right either.

I don't know what leeway the current AD has but Caputo's end-of-game performance in close games shows he can't coach. Something's going on that we may only hear about down the road. 
 

An amazing turnaround. With Castro out Mason is seeing a different team than the one faced previously. Mason has also been in a slump lately. 
Another poster suggested previously that with Castro out we'll now have a chance to see the quality of the other transfers. We'll see how the other transfers perform under the spotlight. Guess what? Hunger and Aranguren have stepped up bigtime. Hunger's play was the major surprise while Aranguren benefitted during previous stops at Iona & Hofstra.
Hail to the Buff & Blue! They can now reclaim what looked to be a lost season.

There's really enough blame to go around to not lay all of this on the coaches' feet or the players' feet.

I honestly thought this was going to be a repeat of last year's Dayton game which Jun had to miss and the team rallied in his absence.  What I learned was that there's a world of difference between how last year's team was able to survive without Jun and at least for one game, what a GW team looks like without Slim.

There are several things that CC mentioned in the press conference that made sense.  Given Fordham's size and rebounding proficiency, this was naturally the one game that you could ill afford to play without Castro.  I'll also buy that Fordham made some wild shots in the second half with the shot clock about to expire.  Yup, when it rains, it pours.  But he would also talk a bit about not having the chance to practice boxing out techniques and I'm sorry but by the time you've reached this level, everyone should know how to do this.  There were some occasions when a much taller Ram grabbed a rebound standing out of position and those are just unfortunate.  Can't coach height as they say.  But some were simply the result of failing to find a man and put a body on him.  That's fundamentals, and it's really inexcusable to witness at this level.

Another point worth reiterating (Wisconsin Colonial 1974 was all over this) was the team's unwillingness and/or failure to attack the zone from the high post.  The ball would go in, usually either to Luke or Wu, but would either then be thrown outside the arc or turned over.  Would I love to have Omar Williams back in the high post, equally skilled at making the turnaround jump shot, driving to hole and finishing, or driving and then dishing to an open shooter.  Those are your three "attack" options, and we saw virtually none of these even attempted.  

It was stated that there weren't many in-game adjustments or for that matter, an adjustment to start the game
