Decent season, disappointing ending.

Well put. The better team won tonight. We need to get quicker and stronger next season.

And of course everything in play off season: Autry decommit, Caputo to Georgetown, Blue Fog, etc. etc.

There’s zero reason to speculate about an Autry recommit. He and his father have repeatedly made clear he’s not going there. It’s just trolling to keep bringing it up without some actual evidence.

Blue Fart, not Blue Fog

Very disappointing game but, as many have pointed out, a pleasantly surprising season. I'm assuming that's the last we see of Bishop but I sure hope not. Caputo is going to have to hit the portal HARD and bring in some real post threats and shot blockers.

In the end, you can't hope for sustained success if you are giving up nearly 80 points per game.

Caputo to Georgetown?
Not in a 100 years.
Mentz must be joking!
Maybe when he has a few winning seasons under his belt. We are under .500 again for the 6th consecutive season.

Kudos to Caputo for a .500 season with 5 players. I doubt any team in the country had a less productive bench!

The arrow is pointing up for the future. For the last time sadly... Go Colonials!!!

Well, our NCAA dreams are dashed.
On the plus side: more time to start recruiting/hit the portal.

Aren't you going to post how the refs jobbed us tonight FQ? That's usually all you have.
I mean, sure, GW's will to win in D1 hoops exceeds that of Syracuse and Georgetown. You bet.
And of course Autry's commit is rock solid. Of course it is. His dad's been head coach at a signature program for 2 hours and FQ has this nailed for us. We will definitely see. I'm not saying definitely ... or that this is going to happen. Just that no one knows except it's more possible now than when we all woke up this morning. Happy to eat tons of crow when Trey shows up.

Yes, D sucked. Need better players. Let's see who we can get for next year. Like a frontcourt. And some smart players. 500 team.
They say upset. Really!?

Dean regressed tonight - needs to take those 5 footers to keep the defense honest.

Interesting fact: Brenden Straughn recruited Reynolds and others to St Josephs(Winborne). Not sure about Brown. There was some speculation that Reynolds would follow him to GW.

Finish 16-16. We won a lot of OT games we shouldn't have. But a .500 record is better than what we have seen lately.

CC did a great job with only 5 players. Excited to see what he can do with a full roster.

Last time GW was in an A10 tournament semifinal was in 2007. One of the principal measures of Caputo’s success for me will be if he can change this. You’ve got to show you can compete in your conference tournament before you should even think about competing in a national (NCAA) tournament.

With the Commanders finishing 8-8-1 and GW 16-16, I seem to be destined to root for absolute mediocre teams…

**Posted by WisconsinColonial2021** 3/08/2023 7:20 pm

And our hometown Badgers down 36-18. Don’t deserve to be in the tournament.

At least HS team won their State championship in NJ and ranked #1 there. I wish we could get some of their players. Alas, one senior is going to Duke and the other Chapel Hill. CC has to get some experienced players in the portal. That's his next Big challenge.

Which of the starters-- excluding Edwards--have another year of eligibility?
