Ghana vs England. Pops Mensah-Bonsu vs… Pops Mensah-Bonsu!!

The NCAA Tournament expanding to 76 teams will surely benefit both Power and Mid-Major conferences, right? No chance. It's another money grab by the suits in Indy. Wrote about that and more in my latest for @rotowire.bsky.social here: www.rotowire.com/cbasketball/...

Something I don’t understand is why does the NCAA constantly need to make more money? Bigger tv deals, bigger tourney, etc. It’s a nonprofit. No way all that money goes back to students

Cinderella may not be disappearing from March Madness - it might just be a possession or two away. A look at the near-upsets, changing roster dynamics, & why the NCAA Tournament has felt different the last two years. New column at Basket Under Review: www.basketunderreview.com/the-march-ma...

Shocked to see a Mr. Pibb ad on TV, featuring Scottie Pippen no less

GW men’s and women’s basketball teams both currently undefeated in their NITs

Bright spot at least Rodger is watching the game

Caputo call a play challenge: impossible

Something I just realized is Patrick Ngongba Jr., Nikolas Khamenia, and Kwame Evans Jr. are all sons of GW players. Valery is Nik’s dad, Kwame Sr. played for the great early 90s teams including 1993 Sweet 16. Pat and Valery played in the late 90s and early 2000s, also NCAA tourney teams

Also my phone corrected Fatt to GATT, how GW. General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, a post World War II treaty to reduce tariffs. I wonder if studying social sciences would be useful these days

Fatt Hill is a great name, Mason guard

Any Shawnta Rogers discussion arrives at this clip before long. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu_x...

As part of GW's series of recognizing past greats this season, the school will honor Shawnta Rogers' jersey at halftime. Rogers, a Foggy Bottom fixture from 1995-99, is the school's career assists and steals leader, ranks second in 3-pointers and seventh in points. Was the A-10's POY in 1998-99.

Greetings from Foggy Bottom. George Mason (21-4, 9-3 Atlantic 10) has crossed the Potomac in search of a second consecutive season sweep of George Washington (14-11, 5-7). Patriots have dropped two of three, including Tuesday's ugly loss at Richmond. GW snapped a four-game skid Tuesday.

Bummer game but this is a cool poster

Caputo on the turnover on the inbound with 13.3 seconds left: "We could have been more clear about here's who's going to get the ball. Sadly, I think the guy was going to be open. But that happens." Added that the pass was not thrown to the right guy.

FINAL: George Mason 69, George Washington 64. Riley Allenspach with 18 points and 12 rebounds for the Patriots (18-1, 6-0 A-10), who have won nine in a row. Also have beaten GW five times in a row for the first time ever. Garrett Johnson had 18 points for the Revolutionaries (12-7, 3-3).

George Mason survives! The Patriots have taken down George Washington 69-64! The Revolutionaries threw the ball away with a chance to tie it. Riley Allenspach had 18 points and 12 rebounds as the Patriots advance to 18-1 on the season and 6-0 in the Atlantic-10!

Fucking hell Marshall threw the ball away with 13 seconds to go, from an out of bounds play. Mason win 69-64

Garrett Johnson appears on A-10 Insider podcast talking about his medical challenges and the season http://colonialhoops.blogspot.com/2026/01/garrett-johnson-appears-on-10-insider.html

Lol I love that Fordham players tried to do point shaving but Duquesne was so bad they failed

Anything that inconveniences a right wing populist is censorship, part 1000. This depraved prick uses that term bc it puts his enemies on the defensive. They cower. Fact-checking is censorship. Labeling is censorship. TRANSPARENCY is censorship. Now, “no nonconsensual nudes” is censorship.

The ticker on USA just had “GW Revs” for the score, I like it

Found a couple old school bags back at home

Just saw the score 😳

Women host Northwestern and former GW Elite 8 coach Joe McKeown on Sunday http://colonialhoops.blogspot.com/2025/12/women-host-northwestern-and-former-gw.html

Furious few buckets and stops and it’s 74-66 and GW commits a foul, 40 to go

GW keeping it around a 10-12 point margin, shooting well towards the end. 73-61 with 1:22 to go

Some nice coverage of Trey Autry and his dad Adrian who coaches at Syracuse

Good example there, Chinyelu flattens Hunger and Hunger gets called for the foul. Very little margin for error for the good guys

GW 1-8 from the free throw line. 12-20 for Florida. Part of the now 17 point difference with 5:44 to go in the second

Some good defense until just now but Revs can’t knock down shots, Florida up 16

GW taking too many dribbles down low when they get the ball. Resulted in a couple recent turnovers. Florida pushes it to double figures

I would prefer they did not

GW beats Army, William & Mary to improve to 8-2, 56 in Torvik, 61 in Kenpom; face Delaware next http://colonialhoops.blogspot.com/2025/12/gw-beats-army-william-mary-to-improve.html

In my opinion one of the best hip hop skits of all time is the greatest hits of Ludacris done by random white people, and this is what this interaction is youtu.be/vYNEVJNMRZ8?...

Patrick Ngongba II son of former GW C Patrick Ngongba

Also note Kangy the Kangaroo in the thumbnail. Video also features the creepy old Little George mascot

A rare decent OOO win for the A10

Why do we keep hearing about and seeing the CEO of Players Era? Who cares about this guy
