GW Hoops / GW Game 1, A10 Tourney Thread

I'm seeing the line has gone from GW as a 1.5 point underdog to a 3.5 point underdog so a lot of money is being bet on La Salle.

What's with the giant A-10 logo at center court? Why couldn't they put the cool Brooklyn Bridge logo there? Jesus, fire Bernadette already.

Overtime in the first game delays our start.

Fordham.

first day on ESPN+, after on USA. It is 2 pm and Fordham game was in OT. I would imagine it will be at least 2:30 before we are good to go.

So this means the season will at least last longer than I expected (I figured it would officially end before 4:00 Eastern)

I saw 2.5 on FanDuel at 2 pm. Cant find it on BetMGM. As much as I dislike betting GW games, i took the Revs on the money line, getting plus 115. Wasn't going to bet, but I had some time to kill waiting for the late start, so I said what the hey? I would have taken the money line, but if we lose, but cover,I don't want my being pissed off at the loss to be lessened by my having won money. I want to enjoy a full hatred.

We can also say that we remained alive in the tournament longer than Davidson. It would be nice to again outlast Fordham some day.

Good start for the good guys. Playing excellent D (especially Stretch). LaSalle only basket was a tough one, and we are rebounding well.

**Posted by Tennessee Colonial** 3/12/2024 1:42 pm

Up 8-2

**Posted by Long Suffering Fan** 3/12/2024 1:42 pm

At first break, defense looks very good. Stretch even looked a little physical on D. Nice to see Trey knocked down his first three. Confidence is very important for him.

He was great breaking up that 2-on-1. (Now why GW could not come close to excecuting a 3-on-2 this late in the season...)

Stretch ripping down a rebound not good sign for La Salle.
Max!

**Posted by Tennessee Colonial** 3/12/2024 1:51 pm

Wow. Stupid turnover, LaSalle scores and a foul. 3 point turnover.

**Posted by Free Quebec** 3/12/2024 1:51 pm

What a terrible and 1 given up by Smith. Just slapping weakly at the ball as a guy goes up strong. He must have the GE record for giving up And 1s.

Nonetheless, our D has been solid and Max hit a couple of shots. They’ve defended Darren well inside so far - getting him going could be key for our offense.

**Posted by Long Suffering Fan** 3/12/2024 1:52 pm

Got to like the result so far, but if we maintain a pace of 5 turnovers every 8 minutes, things will go south quickly.

**Posted by Tennessee Colonial** 3/12/2024 1:53 pm

Yep. 5 turnovers already. And stupid turnovers

**Posted by Tennessee Colonial** 3/12/2024 1:54 pm

14-12 now.
