Radford @ George Washington
Current Records: Radford 4-6; George Washington 3-8
What to Know
The George Washington Colonials’ homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Radford Highlanders at 7 p.m. ET Dec. 13 at Charles E. Smith Center. George Washington should still be feeling good after a win, while Radford will be looking to get back in the win column.
The Colonials strolled past the Coppin State Eagles with points to spare last Wednesday, taking the contest 75-62. George Washington can attribute much of their success to guard Joe Bamisile, who dropped a double-double on 25 points and ten rebounds. Bamisile hadn’t helped his team much against the Charlotte 49ers last week, so this was a nice turnaround for him.
Meanwhile, Radford came up short against the James Madison Dukes this past Saturday, falling 79-70.
George Washington is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. Those who got lucky with them against the spread last Wednesday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
The Colonials are now 3-8 while the Highlanders sit at 4-6. Two offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: George Washington is 45th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 64.9 on average. Radfords have had an even harder time: they are stumbling into the matchup with the 22nd fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 62.7 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
