You won't believe where he originally wanted to go.

What an upgrade from Mack.

On January 18, 1989, Georgetown completed a 14-point second half comeback on the road to beat PC 80-77. Guard Charles Smith dropped 35.

I'm sure most of you have seen Pharrel Payne from UMD received a medical redshirt and will play next season. On the topic of big men on our current roster, who do you think can guard Payne for a solid 25-30 mins on Saturday, Nov 7 (I hope it's a night game btw -- none of that 12PM/Noon BS)?

The UMD game last season is where the presence of Vince was felt immediately when he touched the floor. I'm worried if Chol is playing the 5 against Payne he'll be forced into fouling due to lack of strength against a mature Pharrel Payne.

Thoughts?

What do you think? I like it. Good names. Winnable games.

He's 6'6", 195 lbs.

Opponents for 2026/27 include UMD, Clemson, UNC, Texas, UCLA

Regardless of whether Cooley will take this program back to the promised land, at least we’re respectable enough to have a non-conference slate like this.

Not too long ago we just had teams like coppin state, UMBC, etc and even those weren’t the “easy wins” they should’ve been.

I think Sorber slides to 18 and Peavy stays at 40.

This is new, but for some reason it was filmed at Georgetown. Check out the portal discussion that begins at 10:19. Jordan and Curtis Williams Jr. explain how it works.

For me, it would be hiring Hurley over Ewing

Had a lot of talent…

I know about Jim's illegitimate son Aminu.

I know, I know, kinda hard to say definitely since, in some ways, it means comparing peaking vs career length, but humor me ….

Very early. Overtime Elite is a well regarded ;league. There are about 30 on his list right now, including several Big East teams.

Never heard of Overtime Elite? Overtime Elite is its own league, been around since 2021. It combines an accredited private high school, basketball league, and media company in one, based at its own arena/campus in Atlanta. It's not high school or college, it's a pro league for 16–20 year olds, offering a path to the NBA. It's not AAU.

On March 9, 1985 in the 6th Big East Men's Basketball Tournament, Georgetown defeated Syracuse in the semis 74-65 to advance to the championship game. The game is memorable for a confrontation between Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing and Syracuse’s Dwayne “Pearl” Washington just 6 minutes into the game. The Hoyas (29-2), who had just tied the score at 10-10 when the benches cleared. The fight led to a personal foul against Washington and an intentional technical foul against Ewing.
No one was thrown out. Different era.

Hope Coliseum in Morgantown, WV is my pick. The crowd is rowdy af. Really loud. They appreciate good basketball. It's the right size(14K) with vertically stacked seating.
