Lincoln Ball is really struggling tonight.

I do not want turn this into a bash Christian session, but I am concerned that the players are not being used in a manner that maximizes their strengths.   It seems like the players are left on their own to create their own scoring opportunities.  Again, look at our shot selection and look at theirs.

Does anyone really, truly think this team is any better off than it was under MoJo?

Um, yes.  https://kenpom.com/team.php?team=George+Washington&y=2019

We’ve definitely seen improvement this year, something we didn’t see before.  But we need more players who can play vs a team like Bona.  We only have 3 right now (4 but one is out).  And we need the players to execute plan B when teams shut down the ball screen for Bishop and Catch and shoot for battle.  Hopefully Brayon Freeman is a difference maker.

Does this team even know how to run a play? Shocking, 

Don't want to seem less than optimistic, but we are down 32 with 14 plus minutes left.
And we have no semblance of an offense.
When you have a one person do whatever offense and the opposing team shuts him down predictably, this is what happens.

Interesting that Paar doen't get into the game until the Coach empties the bench.  If he is ill, he should not be in at all.  Otherwise, why wasn't he in the game earlier?

It hasn't been a good game but what really were the expectations of a team barely sub-200 in Ken Pom going up against a team ranked 40?

Almost no one here realizes how good St Bonnie is because they don’t follow basketball other than GW and maybe some of the teams that are on tv all the time.

Of course, we are making them look like Gonzaga with our lack of scoring options and predictable offense. But they are a good team with a real chance to win in the NCAA tourney, if they don’t choke.

Is there a mercy rule in the A10?

As bad as that team was, I don’t see any conference losses by +30. But maybe the Bonnies will call off the dogs soon and let us cut the lead to 29 before the game ends. Smh.

Yeah I didn’t see this bad a beating coming either, though I didn’t expect us to be close. 3 games in 5 days with 7 healthy scholarship players after a 6 weeks covid layoff is not the ideal time to play our best opponent of the year on the road.

I hope they don’t lose their confidence for the A10 tourney. Would be nice to win a game and take some positive feelings into next year.

I really want to believe JC can turn this thing around, but I’m struggling. I really hope this is COVID hangover/fatigue.
