Fair. It was probably brew who had pegged Nova for getting off the schneid.

He's only got to be right once.
I could see Cooley dropping this game to us and then getting T'd up or engaging in some post-game press conference shenanigans.
So far, this is much too positive to be the game thread. Plus, Muggsy doesn't have 50% of the posts.

I've been one of the biggest critics of Chase Ross this season, but I still hold out hope that he'll surprise me with a big game. Maybe tonight...

Hoping to see the guys get the win tonight. We need to win 2 of 3 against Georgetown/Providence/DePaul to avoid having the most losses in a season in the 109 year program history. Need all 3 of those to avoid matching it.

Terrible job on the d-glass thus far.
Watching Chase unwilling/unable to take on one backpedaling defender in a 1-on-1 transition situation is just so weird. If he can't do that, what's even the point of him offensively? How did we ever think he could lead a serious team this year, and how has he failed to develop even the most obvious offensive skills ever for a player of his mold?
Quote from: MuggsyB on February 24, 2026, 06:06:43 PMUghhh. Any idea what happened?

If Caedin is this teams starting center next year, Nigel James will not be here. I could see Caedin staying but he will maybe be playing less than he is right now.

Chase made one in iso!!
Not exactly news...but Stevens is going to be really good over the next 3 yrs.
Just a terrible sequence there.
What in the F was that?
Why are we holding the ball?
why is the ball in Chase's hands there
Did Chase ask what they were in or something like that at the end of the half? I just don't understand the choice. We've seen this movie before, a lot, will we pull it out?
As usual, Gold getting his ass repeatedly torched on defense.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on February 24, 2026, 06:53:04 PMIf only we had a decent PG like James to handle the ball in a possession like that.
Our offense was cooking before that and for God knows what reason we held the ball at the 1 min mark. Dumb. And giving Chase the ball to hold for the last shot? Why?????
This game is huge for a few reasons
1) We don't have a road win yet
but
2) we would tie GTown in the standings and have a home game against DePaul. It would go a long way in avoiding taking sole possession of last in the Big East for the 1st time ever.

Georgetown will not disclose the number of season ticekt holders. It's likely Capital One Arena is holding the seats back.
Shows Shaka what he needs for a big, put a player like GTown has, they might be pretty good next year
Jesus fk Chase.
Caedin has no clue. Please don't start with nonsensical subbing, just keep the pedal down and win

C'mon, let's not kick another one away.
We have absolutely no ability to close a game on the road. Up 13 and down to 6 in a literal flash.
Just way too quick to make mistakes with a fairly sizable lead. They gotta find a way to make that unacceptable in their heads.

Since Feb 11, they're playing like the #84 team in the country. In the same period, MU is playing like the #88 team in the country. They've gone 3-1, we've gone 1-2.
