Georgetown is not good and we might have more overall talent (probably do) but until I see this team put it together, hard to expect them to be high majors.

How do we know if William and Mary isn't good????
They beat Regent 84-29!
Who would win Regent vs team Bryant beat 140-50
I think William and Mary could have beaten Regent with just Mary.
Noah is going to hit 7 3 pointers and prove you wrong!
RU will shoot much better than it did vs. Bryant. Hence, it'll win rather handily, 68-56.
I typically stay away from the prediction threads, but there are games on the schedule where this staff knows and the players know this is real opponent.
As much as some fans want to make people believe every opponent is the same, they're just not. Playing Princeton in Trenton is not the same level or preparation, or the same level of intensity.
I think Georgetown kinda circled this game on their schedule and I think their fans know it's a rebuild......but their fans also know the RAC and I think Georgetown got caught sleeping or looking ahead to the RAC....and Holy Cross caught them and Cooley.
I also think despite what RU fans may think, there's a level of preparation that a real Power 5 opponent brings. Some of our players know their players. Our staff knows what their staff likely shows on tape and vice versa.
This is really all about the RAC. If the fans are into the game and RU plays a little more focused, this has a chance to be the 10 to 15 point win that many would hope for. This is essentially the season opener after 3 tuneup or games that you toss out the window.
Both teams are still learning and figuring things out and RU has more time to sort out things again before Illinois gets to the RAC on December 2nd
RU by 12....any guess on the score depends on what matchups dictate things.

Forget about GU losing to Holy Cross -- they brought in legit talent from the portal, and, like us, it needs to gel.
Supreme Cook is a 6-9, 230 pound forward/center who will be a handful for Cliff to defend. Jayden Epps is a fast, talented PG who originally went to Illinois but things didn't work out there last year when he was a freshman, but he can dish and score. And other than Cook, the other 6 guys in their mainly 7-man rotation can bomb from deep. They have shot 10-27 and 11-29 from 3-pt range in their first two games, which is about a 37% average.
We're still figuring out rotations, and our guards have struggled mightily, and now they will have to go up against a taller, stronger lineup of guards and wings than they have faced in the first three games. Epps is 6-2 (but he's sort of "burly" at about 190 pounds), Rowan Brumbaugh is 6-4, Jay Heath is 6-3, and they also have two 6-6 swingmen in Wayne Bristol, Jr. (transfer from Howard) and Dontrez Styles (transfer from UNC).
GU also has a stretch 4 named Drew Fielder, who is a freshman, but is listed at 6-10, 216, and he shoots from deep. With Cook playing on the interior, Fielder will probably play more on the wing, and he will need to be defended by Woolf, Oskar, and possibly Gavin or Hyatt.
This will not be an easy game at all, despite people thinking this is still the 7-25 Patrick Ewing Hoyas. They're not. Ed Cooley knows how to coach, and he's assembled a very talented roster. It's probably a good thing that we're playing them early on, before they really gel. But this game is going down to the wire, and unfortunately, I think we come up on the short end.

I wouldn't call this a swing game necessarily because we should win. But if RU is going to finish above .500 this year, they need this one.
You’re only allowed 4 degrees of transitive separation. Good day sir!
Took a look at the boxscore. WM took 77 shots(!) to only 56 for GW.
WM used my patented fouling strategy (foul a better team to keep them out of rhythm and prevent them from shooting threes or getting easy buckets inside).
They fouled GW 24 times and GW made 33 of 38 foul shots (87%). If they shot 68% from the line they would have lost.
You definitely get props for 'my patented fouling strategy'. That's hilarious
I know a poster above said to just disregard the fact they lost to Holy Cross a couple days ago.... But.... They lost to Holy Cross a couple days ago. They aren't good, and from what their board says, they're soft.
