We will legit host a charity boxing match for you both, we got the venue, and will arrange the gear/equipment. We’ll set odds and take bets as well. All proceeds go to Mason Athletics. LET’S GET IT ON!

Can you instead just ask Paulsen about his bizarre substitutions and lack of adjustments?

SLU makes 2 ft to go ahead; Crutcher for Dayton makes a 3 at the buzzer; Dayton wins by 2. Flyers only ahead for 5 of the 45 min. They were down by 14 with 7-8 min left in regulation.
Not good for A-10 bubble teams...someone has to beat Dayton. I am now so depressed I am rooting for Dayton and A-10 bubble teams!!

"Party crashing? Duquesne (NET: 55; KenPom: 81; last bid: 1977)

The Dukes aren’t overwhelmingly accomplished, having played no Quadrant 1 games yet. They’re 15-2, though, and have rolled to a 5-0 start in Atlantic 10 with defeats of Saint Louis, Davidson and three programs in the midst of rebuilds (Fordham, George Washington and Saint Joseph’s).

Duquesne would have to pile up a bunch of victories to harbor at-large hopes, but it's not to be underestimated in a tournament setting under Coach Keith Dambot. Led by Marcus Weathers (13.9 points, 8.2 rebounds per game) and point guard Sincere Carry (11.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists per game), the Dukes are likely to win more than 21 games in a season for the first time since 1962."

"The Future
It’s always hard to tell what a program has in store for them as far as recruits, but next year will tell which way this program is heading. The two key guys that Christian needs to surround with talent will be Jamison Battle and Jameer Nelson. Battle is a starter and already the second leading scorer on this team behind Potter as 12.6 per game. Nelson obviously has the pedigree with his dad being an A-10 legend with St. Joe’s and has shown flashes of good play on offense, averaging 9.9 points per game. Those two can set this program up to become back in the top half of the A-10 over the next couple of seasons; it just comes down to who Christian can get to surround them with talent.

The Colonials do have other freshmen that, if continue developing, can provide key roles in surrounding this program with glue guys that can help out Battle and Nelson. Chase Parr is a freshman big man that doesn’t play a lot, but can hopefully benefit from some increased action this season to help next year. Shawn Walker is another freshman that can benefit from this as well. Messie Offurum and Amir Harris are both sophomores that see some action and provide key minutes now. Harris is also a transfer from a power 6 program, Nebraska, that can bring key experience from a higher level of competition.

As for transfers, GW has gotten two in season transfers that will be eligible to play after the fall 2020 semester (unless they get permission from the almighty NCAA to play a full year). Sloan Seymour is a 6-9 big man who is following his coach’s footsteps from Siena. He was a standout player at Siena and was on the MAAC all-rookie team. Hunter Dean recently decided to transfer to GW midseason from Southern Miss. He did not contribute much while in the south, but he was apparently recruited by Christian before attending Southern Miss, so the two had a relationship prior to this season. Seymour will have two years left of eligibility while Dean will have three.

For recruiting, Coach Christian is bringing in two shooting guards for the 2020-2021 season, Lincoln Ball and Tyler Brelsford. Both of these players are on average two star recruits, according to Verbal Commits. Ball is a 6-4, 175 pound guard from Williamsport, MD. Brelsford is also a 6-4 guard from Baltimore. Both players are primarily tall, lengthy shooters, which gives Christian more offense to develop over the next few years. As for forwards, GW got a commitment from Noel Brown, a 6-11 big man from Virginia. This first full recruiting class, aside from getting Jameer Nelson, is a big step in telling where this program is going to go in the coming years."

Makes me wonder what was the package deal to get Christian?

"Howard has had one commitment for the 2020 recruiting class in Anwar Gill. Gill is a 6-4, 185 shooting guard out of Washington, D.C. He was rated as a two-star recruit on Verbal Commits and by ESPN. Gill seems to be the kind of tall, lengthy shooter that Howard likes on his teams, kind of like how Deas is now. Gill was one of the main scorers and rebounders on a high school powerhouse program in Gonzaga College High School in D.C. He is also the third player from D.C. that Howard has gotten a commitment from. The other two were Hikim and Kenney, which shows Howard has a little network set up in our nation’s capital."
