Well the options are win anyway or join us in hoping the committee is forgiving of losses while shorthanded lol

Wonder if it were anyone but Georgetown if they wouldn't play this game.

sounds like the Providence game is as sold out as you can get. Sounds like only 4 tickets are available even on Stub Hub.

Shame schedule wise that this game tonight isn't vs Villanova. Would be one of the top 2-3 games of the entire weekend. Kind of game that you would hope ESPN GameDay would have travelled to.

Funny that’s sort of our inside joke. If Hawk and Kalk are going to be limited today, we’ll be down to about 6 players. We could pull a Providence and get someone tested positive real quick and get a bunch of games canceled.

I think it was during the Seton Hall - Georgetown game that Donny Marshall was praising Willard for taking those 2 losses with half their team out, strongly suggesting that some other coaches were in the same position and lied/claimed to only have 6 guys rather than 7 or 8 to get out of playing shorthanded.

Hawkins and Kalkbrenner are suited up. Let’s hope they are able to play effectively today. Bad mojo right now so a tournament crushing loss just seems inevitable.

wow just saw this-

From beat writer Jon Nyatawa:

Injury notes from Greg McDermott on his pregame radio show just now...

>He's hopeful that Arthur Kaluma's injury only sidelines him for just a week or two

>Ryan Hawkins is "battling pretty significant injury" as well today. He's set to start. But he'll be monitored closely
