In my opinion English should not have played Pierre if he had the flu. He could have kept Castro in there for most of the game. Castro is showing some potential and has helped us. Georgetown is an absolute must win now. Go Friars!
Bottom line when the role players don’t truly show up the Friars can lose to anyone. I’m not saying they were all terrible, but we need more consistency to beat the teams in our league. Georgetown is gonna give us all we can handle tomorrow night..
I just re-watched some of the 12/19/23 game vs. Marquette which we won. It was the very first conference game of the season. The reason we miss Bryce Hopkins so much is the following: 12/19 9 rebounds vs. Marquette; 12/23 13 rebounds vs. Butler (we won in OT); 1/3/24 (when he had the ACL injury) 8 rebounds and he only played 20 minutes! I rest my case. Go Friars!

Looks like an ironic 7 - 10 matchup in the making….against the team from D.C.

Good recap, and you are right, the goal is to win each half of the final two.

Alfred,
I'm with you, his rebounding and just his physical presence on both sides of the floor. He was a lot of account for.
