After the game, McKeown said he was embarrassed by his team's effort, particularly because the school had heavily promoted the game. It drew a large crowd even though it was played on an NFL Sunday.

"It was one of those games where we couldn't make a shot, and it snowballed a little bit and Rutgers played really well," McKeown said Thursday. "I'm trying to put that out of our mind."
McKeown has achieved many milestones since coming to GW in 1989. He's taken the team to 15 NCAAs and this year became the 34th coach in Division I women's basketball history with 500 victories.
Still, it's probably going to take a win over Rutgers, and then one more victory to get into the Final Four, before everyone starts to notice.
"It would really put us in the forefront," said Lawrence, part of a senior class that has won 101 games, second most in school history. "And I think that if you want to be in the forefront you have to beat those really big-time teams.
"Big teams like Cal and Auburn we've beaten, but the next notch we haven't been able to overcome. This is our last year, our last chance. We're looking to do that."
