I honestly can’t figure out what JC is trying to do. Our defense is horrible, we don’t box out, and allow dribble penetration at will. Lindo is not a factor on O except to chuck a 3. Offense is just wild 3’s. Bishop is out of control. It’s one thing to lose it’s another to show no progress and little effort. By the way both announcers and especially Fienstein suck.

 Bingo!

Tonya.  Please be watching this.  Please.

completely undisciplined.   Game after game, they look like a pickup team that has never played together before. 

This is from a few weeks back now but the guys at A10 Stats looked at each team's most used lineups and GW's is the least effective playing together.  Never a good thing for the lineup that sees the floor most often.

Can we get to over  20 turnovers?  JC is making a bundle of cash for not coaching. Pathetic.

That Bamisile dunk over the defender would have been awesome. And then Samuels misses an open layup...

No snark, that is actually a pretty accurate summary of what happened.

He omitted the part about his employer publishing an inaccurate story based on unnamed sources. But it came during a nice contextual lament about the downfall of our program for the understanding of the general public. "Oh George Washington! Weren't they really good in 05-6? They went to the Final Four right?"
That was among the most pathetic halves of basketball I've ever seen from GW, and yes I was on campus during 1-27.

Does anything epitomize this season more than the missed dunk?
Should JC get himself T´d up at some point? Just to try to light a fire?

Forget the game, let´s talk about the local ads they run in Richmond. Loved the pub that advertised "The Biggest TV in RIchmond" (kind of like "the biggest ball of yarn in the Oklahoma panhandle" or "the hottest slots in northeastern Nevada"). And I am intrigued by the funeral home offering crudités at cremation ceremonies. The real estate agent walking around with a sign does not pique my interest, however.
Anything good on Netflix I can watch instead of the 2nd half?

 

I see that we still haven't learned how to box out or rebound.

I’ve been holding out hope to see signs of progress this season. I understand this is the second straight season with a long disruption due to Covid but I just can’t find anything positive to generate hope for the future. I’m not a basketball genius but I can’t see any signs of progress whatsoever over the past three years. Surely even with the disruptions due to Covid, I was hoping we would at least see signs of improving structure on both offense and defense. I see nothing. I would be happy to have someone explain to me where there is progress but from my couch I see nothing that demonstrates that we will be better than Fordham’s cellar partner indefinitely. Someone tell me I’m wrong please because this sucks.
