Always nice to get a W! 
Setting all time blocks record…nice! Congrats to Stretch (I knew Kevin Hall very well may he r.i.p.)

If anybody wants to beat us, just play a soft 1-2-2 press or leave us open at the foul line, or put us there, and we lose.  Too many sloppy, soft, lazy, stagnant possessions.

Hope we grow from this (I think we’re gonna see new rotations soon)

James and Max are still adjusting to their new teammates and vice versa.  Both of them prefer scoring off the dribble which seems to get the ball stuck.  Very little catch and shoot and drives to the hoop end in off balance prayers that haven’t even been close.  We need to finish stronger and get more physical in all aspects.

Don’t think James has the footspeed or ballhandling abilities for the next level. He can score and get hot, but  we’re seeing difficulties with ball movement by him and Max. 

They’re both very talented but I think they have some adjustments yet to be made in order to improve this teams chances.  Until then we’ll keep seeing bad body language and emotional outbursts when things don’t go their way.

Haha Jersey Guy. Agree.

This should be fun since SC hasn’t lost yet and probably feels a bit cocky and overconfident.

We’ve had a week to prepare with good coaching and game planning and have every reason to be confident.  I’m certain CC will keep our guys focused and hopefully we start out with hot shooting and strong D.

Hope the refs aren’t a factor.

GO GDUB!!!!

Was happy for our guys finishing this trip on a high note!
Nice to have positive momentum and a happy flight home back to campus.

We have 4 bonafide offensive talents averaging double figures.  We get 40 rebounds a game. We shoot 3’s and free throws very well.  Sounds like a great situation!

What we haven’t done well is start games, minimize turnovers, stay locked in, and be consistent.  It’s schizo to shoot 22% in a half and 70% in second half of same game!!  Need to modulate the right emotions. 

Just look at UConn and FAU.  They play angry with a chip on their shoulder whether the shots are falling or not.  Yes they are super skilled but they make their opponents feel them!  It’s part of winning. You can play with your hair on fire and still be under control.

We have a bunch of stuff to clean up and I’m sure the coaching staff will address it.  The most encouraging thing is that CC wants to win and so do the players. They’ve definitely bought in and are enjoying the ride.

I’m excited for this team.  They’ve had a promising start to the season and along with the fans are discovering their own skills and personalities. As important as the matchup is with Ohio, this is a new shared experience by the team and coaches which should bring everyone closer.  It’s not easy taking this large family to Baha Mar and keeping everyone on the same page.

The demographic of the team is cool featuring grad students, transfers, freshmen, and a few countries.  Would give anything to listen in on some of the team chatter during meals and travel.

Have to say that I have some concerns with Max, Benny, and not so much Trey.  Each has shown negative emotions when frustrated. Trey is pressing and needs to settle down and play freely like Jacoi, Stretch, Garret, Darren, and JB4.  Benny seems to sulk and wear his emotions on his sleeve.  Max also presses when things don’t go his way as in getting tossed. Just want everyone to stay engaged as does CC.

Excited to see this team grow and improve.  Keep stacking the W’s.

Go Revs…Raise High…Have Fun!!!

Looking forward to Hofstra and more home cooking once again.  Would like to see us kick up the intensity a bit from the get go.  Against W&M we lost the first four 50-50 balls. 

Just as winning, shooting, and rebounding can be contagious, I hope Max’s game rubs off on everyone.  Great to see his development with less turnovers and more discipline.  JB4 needs to tighten up the passing game and limit the 3 point attempts from 35 feet. Otherwise let him be him in the rhythm of the game.

Really like the athleticism of Stretch, Jacoi, and Darren.  They run the floor very well and have good length.  Jacoi has obviously focused on D but does have a nice shot as well. Great motor as they say.

I’m sure they’ll fix the press break along with some defensive rotation issues.

This is a likable team and coaching staff.  Looking forward to their growth and success.

Sorry Joel, couldn’t disagree more.  Don’t know what esteemed forums you participate in, but referring to the state of GW basketball as “sad” is simply propaganda.
Au Contraire my friend, things are quite encouraging.  Please revisit us once the season is underway. Meanwhile happy forum hunting

Interestingly the Dartmouth basketball team is trying to unionize in much the same way the cafeteria workers have.  This, to me, symbolizes the murkiness of college athletics.  Who is an employee? Is there a student in any of this? Yes Ivy doesn’t have athletic scholarships just a nice diploma.
I remember when scholarships were referred to as a “full ride.”  It was a big deal. No longer?
Coaches are employed. Student athletes currently are not.
Throw NIL into it and you get comments from Nick Saban like “we need to up our NIL to compete with Texas A&M.”
He might be right since they look average.
But only the big boys can play this out with Coach Prime riding a huge wave until he loses and all the hype goes away. I’m sure the Colorado players are studying hard today, just like the Kentucky one and dones.
Joe Bam needs guidance and help.  Hope he gets it.
I just hope Coach Caputo doesn’t get poached from us if we get really good. Jus sayin!
In this day of super hype and big NIL $$ we have a long basketball tradition at GW which will never be erased.  I hope we can navigate these next few years in such a manner that the coaches/players/students develop a deep respect for each other and a long lasting relationship.  Don’t need the hype.

Wow, didn’t realize Joe had so much going on. I feel bad for him on many levels and hope it all works out for him.

He’s a freakish athlete that should compete on some level in some sport. Did he ever run/jump track?  What a leaper!

And what now? Are all his transcripts at VCU? Is he a student? 

Yes, a lot going on

Well said Dude!

My hope is to have new weapons who buy-in and pleasantly surprise to the upside.

The fun at this early juncture is what CC et al create in competitive workouts. 

Jacoi had me at “my favorite player is Shai Gilgeus-Alexander. How can you not love him?
