They might as well move down to the A-10, they've been playing worse than St. Bonnaventure as of late.

George Washington plays Georgetown annually in women's basketball, and we (the students, at least) want to see an annual game against Georgetown's men's team. One theory floated as to why GU refuses is that, if they were to lose to GW, that would be the end of their storied basketball program.

Bottom line - in D.C. proper, GW men are on their way up, and GU men are on their way down.
I know you attend GWU and not GU. Just wanted to "yank your chain" a bit. GU might not be on the way down if they hire a coach that doesn't have ties to John Thompson. He had some very good years, but that era is over. Same thing happened at UCLA after Wooden. I have read recently that GU is hoping to get the guy from Manhattan.
