St Joe’s currently up 9 on LaSalle.  A St Joe win means we avoid the play in game and finish 10th.  Let’s go Hawks!

La Salle with the 1 point win

 

Depending on how you look at things, this might be actually better for us in terms of "advancing" in the tournament. Would rather play whoever the six seed is (probably SLU/SBU/Duquesne) than Davidson honestly. Either way I don't see us making it past Friday, but it could mean more total wins for the year. Would have been nice to miss the play-in game this year, but we had our opportunity to just win one of La Salle and Fordham twice but dropped all of them.

Bring on Fordham for the third time!!! We can't lose three times to them right??

HUGE win for the GW duo!!

Purdue had a 19 KenPom and that was a coveted road for Karl and Pikiell!  TJ too lol the Troika strikes! put your dancing SHOES ON GENTS!!  The GW Trio is Going DANCIN!!!!!

Baylor lost.  can Dayton take over Baylor on a the 1 seed line?   3 non BCS schools winning 1 seeds would be pretty wild right?

Gonzaga.  SD St.  and maybe Dayton if things break just right???

 

Tom Crean lost by 30 points last night wrapping up a brutally bad second season.
I'm not a big fan of parting ways with a coach so quickly but I would have him on a very short leash.
Amazing a guy who is so successful at marquette has been such a failure at Indiana and Georgia.
Indiana is a program any good coach really should not have a problem winning consistently and big, still a Blue blood still has an incredible passionate fan base and great history
Georgia bit of a different story but just amazing for all the talent on that squad the last two seasons how poorly the team has played I would put a sell sign on the Tom crean coaching career stock. I've been a sell on that stock for 5 years now
in sharp contrast one of America's great underrated coaches Leonard Hamilton rolls on another incredible season ACC champions. Criminally underrated coach what a job he has done

Texas and Georgetown have the same KenPom. 

gotta think this is Shaka'a last year in Austin.

Karl and Pikiell were extended 2 more years though 2026/27 I believe.  The Foggy Bottom Duo has massively turned it around on The Banks of The Raritan

 

I saw some of Delaware's(they finished 4th or 5th) semifinal loss to the top seed Hofstra, and was surprised to see that the CAA tournament is being played in D.C. at the fairly new athletic facility where the Mystics and the Wizards minor league(G-League or D-League??) team plays. Is this their first year playing in D.C.?

It looks like Rutgers may need to win 1 game in the Big 10 tournament to feel safe. I just saw a segment on ESPN where they mentioned that no team has ever made the NCAA tournament with less than 4 win away from home, Rutgers currently has 3. 

Someone(The Dude?) brought up Rutgers(Pikiell-Hobbs-TJ Thompson) renewing the series with GW. I'm assuming that GW would accept a series of games against any Big 10 school, but would Pikiell-Hobbs-TJ Thompson want to play GW? It would be an interesting story if those 3 brought Rutgers to play at Smith Center. 

Sorry, it was Mike K who brought up the possibility of the Rutgers/GW trio coming back to Smith Center to play GW in the future. I think that's a great idea if Rutgers agrees to it. 

Jordan Roland and 6th seeded Northeastern have advanced to the CAA Title game in D.C. tomorrow night, they'll play the top seed Hofstra. 

99% in for St Mary's per Lunardi,  if you are looking for some good games, this game coming up and the Champ Game tomorrow will be great theater.

 

What's interesting about Goss, like Cimino was brought in to be the stretch 4, we were looking to add.

As a 5th year senior coming off the bench at Delaware,  he's 2 for 13 from 3 this year 14%, and shooting 55% from the FT line.

Well, we now have the Stretch 4 we've needed for years:
GW Freshman Jamison Battle.
