Re: 2024 schedule
A tournament we've heard of!
My standards are is the tournament in a middle school gym and on Flo Hoops or
not? This one may at least be on ESPN+

Re: 2024 schedule
Based on what's available on the website, games were on ESPN+ last year, and the gym is at least a HS, if not a low major college gym, so an upgrade all around

Laughed out loud at the Flo Hoops reference.

Times really have changed. Used to be a "good" schedule was one that included a game or two on TV. Now a "good" schedule is one that allows us to stream all games without having to deal with FloSports! Actually, I have no problem with "zero games on FloSports" as a baseline metric.

Hard to imagine a huge crowd for that one that Friday after Thanksgiving...

Re: 2024 schedule
Please let us have an improved schedule over the last 3 years.
I can't stomach all the NCAA at-large bid talk after running through our D-2 and low D-1 schedule only to come in dead last in our conference!

Other than the Dude (who you can't take seriously), who was talking at-large bid here this past season?

Doesn't really matter what our noncon schedule looks like until we can win our league road games (and our home games, too!).
After the last few seasons, I would be just fine having the pundits all saying in March that our non-league schedule wasn't tough enough to be considered for the NCAA Tourney. You know why? Because that would mean we've been a top 4 A-10 team and we're ready to take the next step.
You have to walk before you run. And right now we're talented but we've got a proverbial bum knee in one leg and a sprained ankle in the other. We can heal from those injuries, right?
And then...let's go.

Hard to imagine a huge crowd for this one if you gave away the tickets, two free hot dogs, two beers and LeBron James was signing autographs for one and all.
VMI was one of ten worst teams in the country. More of the same.

I think a lot of people got unrealistically hyped after that one DeCourcy tweet that had us in his first four out in November or December.

Re: 2024 schedule
I'm fine with a game here and there that's a bit easier as long as there isn't a repeat of the December slate from this past year.
VMI is one of the worst D1 jobs out there, the kind of job where the head coach would leave to take an assistant job at a high major. It doesn't help that they play in the SoCon so they are at a disadvantage compared to their peers with all the military requirements. Their team gets gutted year after year as no one wants to stay there (I think JC said in a previous interview that he was recruited there but wasn't interested due to the policies at the school), and I don't think the school allows many transfers if at all.
Sure enough they have lost all their double figure scorers to the portal again this year and their top guy returning that faced D1 competition as of now averaged 4 ppg. One of the Keydets still on the roster, Maurice Wright from California, was recruited by GW in the JC era.

Re: 2024 schedule
If they're not playing more Q1 or Q2 games, I at least wish they'd schedule more home-and-home games in major metros to get in front of more GW Alumni. One from each of the following pods (in order of the largest number of alumni according to LinkedIn) if you can't get one of the Power conference schools to agree, and then promote the crap out of them to the local alumni groups:
"Virginia" (which I assume is mostly NoVa, but fine...)
James Madison
Norfolk State
Old Dominion
Maryland
Towson
UMBC
Mount St. Mary's
Loyola MD
Navy
New York
Manhattan
Columbia
Marist
Stony Brook
Iona
Hofstra
LIU
South Florida
USF
FAU
FIU
Boston
Boston U.
Harvard
Los Angeles
LMU
Cal State Fullerton
UC Irvine
Pepperdine
San Francisco
USF
San Jose State
UC Davis
"Texas" (which is kinda big!)
Rice
North Texas
UT San Antonio
