Dayton @ George Washington Game Thread
 

Fudd 10-25-2010 09:35 AM

Conference Rank: #9 Atlantic 10 Conference
2009-10: 16-15, 6-10
2009-10 postseason: CBI
Coach: Karl Hobbs (149-115 at George Washington, 149-115 overall)


Final Projection:
George Washington is a year away from what should be their best season since their last NCAA appearance, but the 2010-2011 campaign should not be too bad either. It may be too much of a reach to hope for an NIT berth in a tough A-10 conference, but the Colonials should aim for another postseason berth in either the CBI or CIT. Anything better than that and George Washington’s expectations would suddenly sky rocket in 2011-2012.

Projected Post-season Tournament: CBI/CIT

Projected Starting Five:
Tony Taylor, Junior, Guard, 9.4 ppg
Lasan Kromah, Sophomore, Guard, 11.8 ppg
Aaron Ware, Junior, Guard, 6.4 ppg
David Pellom, Sophomore, Forward, 2.9 ppg
Joseph Katuka, Senior, Center, 5.9 ppg

Fudd 10-28-2010 09:27 PM

Per WH of the A10 board:

http://www.basketballforum.com/atlan...ashington.html

W - Boston University (At Villanova as part of NIT)
L - At Villanova (as part of NIT)
? - (NIT runnerup bracket if loss to Nova)
? - (NIT runnerup bracket if loss to Nova)
W - UNC WILMINGTON
W - At George Mason
W - NAVY (Verizon Center)
W - TOWSON STATE
L - At Oregon State
W - EAST CAROLINA
L - At UAB
W - HOLY CROSS
W - At Howard
W - HARVARD

NONCONFERENCE RECORD: 9-3 (to be revised once sked is complete; see NIT)

The keys to GW's success is to score more points inside with Joseph Katuka and David Pellom; get stellar play from the backcourt of Taylor and Kromah; shoot better on free throws and behind the arc; make better decisions with the ball; and learn how to close out opponents. The young Colonials blew too many games down the stretch.

I think the Colonials could be the surprise of the A-10. THe team is deep and athletic and they will run and press like Hobbs teams of old. They should mostly blow through an easy nonconference schedule, but hold up much better in league play given all the experience the youngster got last year.

Lasan Kromah has the shooting ability and physical tools to play for money some day, and junior Tony Taylor is one of the best and least celebrated point guards in the A-10. Dwayne Smith is another player to keep an eye on. The 6-6 combo forward might also have all-league potential with his budding inside-out game. The frontcourt, meanwhile, can do the job defensively and on the boards, though a little more offense would help. Katuka seems ready to emerge as a consistent threat in the post.

GW starts off in the preason NIT with a game vs. Boston University. The COlonials seem to play and beat BU every year, no matter where the game is played. Hard to see GW upsetting Nova at home in the next game, however. The Colonials can actually match up with size and athleticism, but Nova is very tough in its own backyard.

The Colonials follow up with a win over a down and out UNC Wilmington that has a new coach. GW heads to George Mason next as part of a new local rivalry. GW beat Mason last year, but Mason returns all five starters and they are tough at home. I go with an upset as the Colonials use their length to bother the smaller Patriots.

GW should handle mediocre Navy and Towson teams in the next two games before flying out to Oregon State. I think the Colonials are the more talented team, but it's a long flight and OSU has a good coach. Yet the game will be closer than GW's loss last season to Oregon State in the Smitty.

Returning home, the Colonials handle East Carolina, which is undergoing yet another rebuilding job. They meet a similarly athletic team in UAB down at Birmingham, but that's always a tough place to win. UAB is mostly young, inexperienced and on the smaller side, but the Blazers do have a good starting backcourt. GW has more size and talent. This is the kind of game they need to win to start thinking about the postseason. I call it a loss to be conservative.

After that it should be smoother sailing with wins over Holy Cross (coming off a disastrous year), Howard and Harvard.


BONUS A-10 PREDICTION: 9-7 (18-10 overall)

The Colonials pair up with LaSalle, Charlotte and Richmond. I expect the Explorers to be much improved, so this is a tough group. Hard to see more than 3 wins out of this group. GW also goes on the road at Xavier, Rhode Island, Duquesne and Massachusetts. It will be tough to win more than one or two of those games. Tee rest of the sked lines up favorably, however, to give GW a good chance to get over .500 in league play.

9-5 first break. GW already down 2 players w/2 fouls. CJ finally gets his points. GW very out of sync and we should have a few more points than we got. Need to convert.

TommyGola 03-05-2011 02:18 PM

17:05...Benson yanked after some momentum...don't get it!

jack72 03-05-2011 02:18 PM

Dayton shakily breaks the press and LF makes a jumper in the lane.

Wow, loved that play to get Benson behind the D in the paint all alone for the lob entry.

Nice feed by Staten, finds a wide open JB.

That just showed I think why BG wants us to find a guy to kick out to off the offensive glass.

At least 8 layups/put backs in a row missed now.

How many easy layups can these guys miss!

TommyGola 03-05-2011 02:33 PM

Until the 10 minute mark, the foul calls were certainly going our way.

FlyerFanatic21 03-05-2011 02:34 PM

LOL at making the circus shot

LebronJames 03-05-2011 02:35 PM

GW rallies 16-18

JP drives, gets in trouble, has his back to the basket, throws it up underhand, and it somehow spins into the basket.

18-18.

TommyGola 03-05-2011 02:35 PM

Paul Williams and Luke are ice cold from the 3 line. We are better off pounding the ball into the paint.

TA111 03-05-2011 02:35 PM

Wow. This is some terrible basketball. These young men just don't understand fundamentals.

Alberto Strasse 03-05-2011 02:36 PM

Out of Control
 
Just another out of control effort by an out of control team and coach.

CW tips in a missed BS layin.

Then BS hits another 3

26-24 Flyers

I am so sick of PW and DS and their lazy attitudes. Of course no lesson here as they continue to play.

FlyerFanatic21 03-05-2011 02:45 PM

Bonnies up 9 at URI late 1st half. SLU down 10 vs X late 1st half. Need both to lose to get a 1st rd home game if this one doesn't end up going our way.

It completely figures that we actually play better, seem to look like the better team today, but of course trail at the half still.

LebronJames 03-05-2011 02:53 PM

29-30 halftime

Falcon7 03-05-2011 02:54 PM

SIT Searcy and Williams the whole 2nd half!

MikeF 03-05-2011 02:54 PM

With this being the regular season finale I shouldn't be, yet I'm continually amazed by Dayton's end-of-half struggles.

TA111 03-05-2011 02:55 PM

I have never seen a team-at any level- who performs so badly at the end of the half. It's almost a given that they will not get good shot in the last 30 seconds

Maybe the only thing they've been consistent at all year.

Alberto Strasse 03-05-2011 02:56 PM

Cross-Eyed Shooters
 
UD's players need an eye exam. Some of the guys look cross-eyed on tv when shooting from the foul line. Maybe they are just a religious bunch.

LebronJames 03-05-2011 02:57 PM

Josh Benson - 8pts, 5rb, 1ast, 1 block
Chris Wright - 7pts, 5rb, 1 ast, 1 steal
Brandon Spearman - 6pts
CJ - 3pts, puts him over 1K

FlyerFanatic21 03-05-2011 02:58 PM

Fordham is up 7 against UMass w/1:30 left.

Falcon7 03-05-2011 03:00 PM

Spearman was hot so after a TO, BG pulls him out for the rest of the half????????????? WTF?

Larymike 03-05-2011 03:01 PM

Isn't the goal of a team to improve thru the year? What improvement has UD had this year?

jack72 03-05-2011 03:04 PM

PW gets the ball at the elbow and dibbles toward half court and then passes backward to JS. Wow, a junior in college and makes junior high offensive mistakes. Then we rotate the ball and throw it to DS, who half-ass tries to catch it. Pathetic.

Spearman played a great half and we are playing PW.

That's the problem, Larymike, since the beginning of the year many of the players' games have regressed, in some cases in a big way. Paul Williams is really struggling with shooting and ball handling.

Same reason he splits time right down the middle for DS & JB. DS 0 pts, 2 rbs

Gregory doesn't know what he's doing.

Dukes makes the statement "I don't know why college teams don't use a 2 for 1 situation more. They do it all the time in the NBA."

Hey Derrick, news flash they play 4 quarters in the NBA and 2 halfs in college.

T-Bone 84 03-05-2011 03:09 PM

Did anyone see, at that last 30-sec TO, BG was ripping JS & DS about their defensive issues on the shot that missed, instead of devising a set to increase the lead from 1 to 3? I said to my wife "We won't score here". And we didn't. And they did. And we're trailing at the half.

And BS hits 2 treys & makes a good drive that results in a CW tip-in, so what happens? He gets pulled for PW, who has been making bad passes & can't make a shot to save his life. Hartsock & Dukes comment about how good a half JB is having, and there's @ 2:20 to go. I say to my wife, "Watch - he won't last the half." She says, "Sure - he must be tired!" :rolleyes: Sure enough, he gets pulled for DS with @ 1:30 to go.
