Re: 2016-17 Bracketology

Winning tomorrow maintains status quo, meaning we'd still be out. I don't think we'll jump anyone or be jumped.

I still think if we get to the final game we're in. Lose a 3rd time to Dayton? Shit, not feeling good about it.

Re: Game #30: Davidson Saturday March 4, 6:00PM SENIOR NIGHT ASN

I don't want to start a new thread for this, but what's up with CT? How does he not see any minutes in a game like today? Hey, it all worked out but if EC, JT and Stan stay out of foul trouble is that it for him? Personally I think he's a great defender and could have helped with Gibbs I've said thi...

Re: Game #30: Davidson Saturday March 4, 6:00PM SENIOR NIGHT ASN

We're the only team in the league that get ZERO love from the officials at home. - EC has made a few shots but given the stakes this is his worst game of the year. Ditto that JT. - Down 9. Absolutely no flow on offense. Shades of the Fordham game. 9 mins left, need to cut it to 1 possession soon or ...

First half observations... - They have us scouted well. JT has been bottled up. That means Dowtin, Jarvis and Stan need to hit some jump shots. - Driving to the bucket seems to be working for us. We're being patient and making the extra pass. - Gibbs is a pain in the ass. I can't wait until he gradu...

Very frustrating. - Free throws! The only reason we're still in the game even though that last empty tr...

Not a savior by any means, but a good coach can recognize situations and respond. Dan has not shown any ability whatsoever to counter punch. Instead let's go with two point guards, including one that hasn't played in a few months, and try to generate offense that way? When it was clear that wasn't w...

Re: Game 24: Dayton Friday Feb 10, 7:00PM ESPN2 Ryan Center

Let's predict now. Who and how do we lose in the A-10 semis? It's like Clue or Mad Libs.

My guess is VCU hits put back (no over the back call of course) with 4 seconds left. Inbounds to EC who pulls up from half court with 2 seconds left and air balls a 3.

A solid win. GW played as good as you could expect them to on the road and it still wasn't enough.
