Colonials forward Yuta Watanabe celebrates a blocked shot during the second half of George Washington’s 73-68 victory over No. 6 Virginia.
GW (2-0) shot 50-percent (12-for-24) from the field with three three-pointers in the first half to take a 35-32 lead into halftime.
Brogdon scored a game-high 28 points, including 20 in the second half, but the Cavaliers were unable to overcome 40.3 percent shooting. “He was a little out of sorts early”.
If an upset happens in college basketball early in the season, it isn’t as highly thought of. “They deserve to be top six, but I think we’re up there”. In the end, George Washington pulled of the biggest upset so far in the young season with the 72-68 win over the Cavaliers. Kevin Larsen was a key piece, recording his first double-double of the season with 24 points and 11 rebounds. Whether you need a cover, layout, or need help from start to finish, we are here to help!. It hurts right now, of course.
Under Bennett, the Cavaliers’ defense has typically been one of the most disciplined in America, always staying with cutters and rarely being fooled by misdirection.
“We were out of synch and did not play particularly well”. It was the first points of the game for the junior guard who averaged 6.4 points and 4.6 assists on the way to being named honorable mention all-ACC last season.
After dismantling Morgan State on Friday night, the Hoos got the test they were looking for when they traveled up Route 29 to visit the George Washington Colonials. They had lost eight straight such games, and their last win over a ranked team at home came on January 14, 1998, against Xavier. George Washington is a really good team.
