Last night, I attended the GW Men
basketball game at the Smith Center. The game started at 7pm and the Colonials
won with the score 76 to 66.
This result is really exciting because the
victory was George Washington's first over a Big Ten team at home since a 77-74
triumph over Wisconsin in 1977. George Washington has now defeated teams from
three of the Power Fiver conferences this season: Virginia (ACC), Tennessee
(SEC), and Penn State (Big Ten).
After trading lead changes over the first
six minutes, GW took the lead at 13-12 on Alex Mitola's 3-pointer with 13:24
left. GW hit on 7 of 14 first-half 3-pointers in taking a 40-33 advantage into
halftime.
My favorite player in this game was Yuta
Watanabe. He tallied 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting, including 4-of-7 from
three-point range, which was really excellent among the whole team.
We look forward to GW Men basketball’s next
game!
