Where are the students?!?!?!? I am almost at the point where I say flunk any student who does not show up tonight.

I agree… and I’ve been witnessing it all season on ESPN+.  Why the hell can’t we get students to these? Drunk frat bros would love this. This is weak compared to the days I was in school (I was spoiled as I was there in the Lonergan Era).

? The name change would make a difference. Or that's what I was told. Where are the people (students and faculty) that pushed the change? Someone give them a call to attend a game. It's not like Ft. Myers where you had to drive or take a bus. Thousands of students just a short walk away and where are they? Smart move GW. Rant and rave. Hope we can win a few games with little support. Very upsetting. 

Castro taking on Duquesne.

NOW,Ok to boo Max
Or at least his teammates.

Great fight to get back into this.

he is not aware of his bad habits. Shame.

I’m sorry, but that was poor coaching at the end of the game. A bad play out of the timeout followed by an unnecessary foul put the game out of reach…

Well, you win some and you lose some. When the outside shots fall (Dayton, UR) this team can take on anyone in conference. When the shooting outside is not white hot, well you get tonight (and the ft´s were uncharacteristically off, too).
No use crying over spilt milk. Move on to the next one.
 

Yup. I suspect this team will knock off some of the better teams but also lose to some  of the lesser teams in the conference and finish in the middle of the pack. Part of it is the parity of the league and part of it is that this team is consistently inconsistent.

I generally agree with this. Most of the guys (with a couple obvious exceptions) didn't look too bad offensively, shots just weren't falling. Big shoutout to Castro as he played his ass off. He has such a high motor and really looked great out there on both sides of the court. What a great addition.

On the negative side, I'm at a loss for words regarding Jacoi's sophmore slump. I really thought he'd take that big leap forward this year and propel us forward but he looks lost out there. He presses way too much offensively and dribbles into double-teams time after time. Another obvious negative tonight was FT shooting. We shoot closer to 72-75% and we win this game, simple as that. 

Finally, I know DBJ is coming back from injury and needs some time to readjust, but the offense seems to stall out when he has the ball. He needs to improve his vision while driving the ball as teams will always converge on him when he's going to the rim. I think Caputo needs to figure out other ways to get him the ball outside of putting it in his hands near the 3-point line. Maybe use him as more of a post player on smaller players or have him cut to the basket from the corner more. I'm not quite sure but we need to figure something out there.

Not a great loss but move on to the next one.

Could Buchanan be one of the most overrated players to play for GW. He was 0-6 from the floor, missed 2 dunks that were gimmes and backed off taking a close in shot down the stretch. He makes bad decisions and outside of playing Junior High school teams has rarely influenced games especially in League Play. MG14 had many good thoughts,
