[TexanMark]

March and Georgetown losing to higher seeds: a wonderful thing.

 

[CorduroyG]

61-39 feels like 10 years ago

 

[JohnCuse44]

Solid NIT 3 seed...

 

[obliterata]

Wow, they really needed to win that. Pop goes their bubble.

 

[Townie72]

I wasn't sure how the New Big East was going to be perceived. So far, the news is not good.

Georgetown really is flirting with a slide to Mid-Major status.

Does NIT still take division winners? If so, how about a FGCU / Georgetown rematch in the NIT?

If they play in Florida, 2000 will attend. If they play in DC, 2000 tickets will be given away along with a $10 BE Dunkin Donuts gift card.

Georgetown Basketball is officially closed?

[We Are Syracuse]

Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahah HOYA SAXA baby

Wonder what Hoya talk is thinking right about now

 

[PoppyHart]

Should JT3 be sacked?

 

[TexanMark]

FGCU should definitely host GTown. They would sell out their 4000 seat arena in Ft Myers and help welcome the Hoyas to mid-majordom.

 

[TexanMark]

Should JT3 be sacked?

I think not...he is doing a fine job.

A quick check - weeping and gnashing of teeth

As long as Big John is calling the shots on The Hilltop-and make no mistake, he does-III isn't going anywhere.

The power JT Jr at GU cannot be overstated.

The guy put his hapless assistant, Craig Esherick, in the GU HC job, specifically so he could be a "placeholder" until JT III could get some experience elsewhere. Esherick was a disaster, but no voice was ever raised. Who esle has that kind of power? Maybe Joe Paterno before the scandal.

Most older GU grads have always felt that JT Jr hi-jacked the GU BB program to make it into a National "black" program. And the starry-eyed Jesuits dared not to say a word. The logic was and is that the basketball program would make GU, the university, more of a part of the City of DC. Instead what they got was pictures of glowering gangsters across the US dressed in Hoya gear.

A GU Development office guy told me the school increased the funding for Lax and football specifically to get alumni heat off JT Jr and the basketball program.

The half-empty Verizon Center would seem to indicate that strategy has failed. But the Washington Post and the sports talk show hosts would choke to death rather than to voice any criticism whatsoever. Years ago I was listening to a program when a GU critic got on the air and started to read a long list of the players that JT Jr had brought in and then run-off when they failed to produce. The hosts shut that guy down as soon as they understood that this wasn't a positive call.

The good news for JT III is that GU really doesn't have a lot of fans and very few big money fans. So with the Jesuits and the the school's president in his corner, he is fire-proof.

Should JT3 be sacked?

Of course.
But they can't.
Who else would ever take the job?
