GW beats Army, William & Mary to improve to 8-2, 56 in Torvik, 61 in Kenpom; face Delaware next

It was a fitting couple of games: George Washington, the commander-in-chief, beat Army, and then followed it up by beating William & Mary, two British monarchs. 

The Revolutionaries beat Army at West Point 84-70 on Dec. 2, followed by a 99-86 win over W&M at the Smith Center on Dec. 6. 

As usual, GW's high powered and multifaceted offense has been solid, and while the defense was a little bit less strong against Army, allowing them to shoot .410 from three, the Revs out rebounded Army 40-25 and limited turnovers. GW's recap has more.

Against the Tribe, GW shot 52% from the floor and had 21 assists with 11 turnovers, and also won the rebounding battle. Up one at halftime, GW pulled away in the second, outscoring the Virginians by 12 in the half. Here's the official recap.

The good guys dropped a little bit in national rankings, to 61 in Kenpom and 55 in Torvik, but still a solid place to be at this point in the out of conference schedule. 

GW still has four players averaging double figures in scoring, led by Rafael Castro with 16.1 and Garrett Johnson with 14.9 mostly off the bench, and five more players average from 7-10 points per game.
