Re: GW vs Dayton Game Thread
"You can see GW. They're playing zero defense. It's like shooting fish in a barrel."
Hard to disagree.

Re: GW vs Dayton Game Thread
The problem is that they have quit on the Court. The announcers have pretty much said so regarding their effort.

Re: GW vs Dayton Game Thread
We keep doing the same thing offensively and they keep exploiting us defensively.
Put in the walking to at least show defensive effort.

It is not just the allowing 74% shooting while going 7-24 from the floor. It is also 7 turnovers and 15-9 rebound defecit.

Announcer brutally and surgically picks us apart.

Re: GW vs Dayton Game Thread
GW is just wildly inconsistent. The Davidson game showed me we can beat anyone in the A10, but games like today (and there has been a lot of them) show me that they can also lose to (or get blown out by) anyone in the A10.

Re: GW vs Dayton Game Thread
Why at this point in the season has no one told Dean not to leave his feet on defense, especially when he is challenging someone shooting a three? And why is he covering the three point shooter in the first place?

Dayton announcer is all over GW effort, or lack of effort.
My question for those posting here today, Isn’t lack of effort confused with lack talent? If yer not quick enough to close out shooters doesn’t that look like a lack of effort?

Re: GW vs Dayton Game Thread
First half looking like varsity vs. JV. That says something about Dayton and something about GW, per announcers. How true.

I understand that you get the home town announcers on ESPN+, but these announcers are totally unprofessional.

Nice off-balance 35 footer to cap the half.
If only The Rocky Horror Show name wasn't already taken.
Hope President Wrighton is watching.

Glass half full. We were down 56-18 vs. South Carolina at the half a few seasons back.

Re: GW vs Dayton Game Thread
That was bad. Since this is not on USA Network, we won´t even have the pleasure of rugby highlights during halftime (and the France-Ireland game was really good). This team/program still has a mountain to climb, having gone over some molehills has not made GW conquerers. Hopefully this is the last downhill performance and ends up being viewed as glitch and not a warning, but I fear it is the later.

Effort can always be shown. Talent is obvious. Lack of effort is not acceptable. Even if you are short handed on talent you can play hard and not jog back on D after turnovers or missed shots. Gutless effort.

Didn´t GW have these frisbee dogs at halftime already this season? Guess Dayton gets second dibs?

Start the dogs in the second half. Better passing,shot selection and defense.
