GW dropped to 1-4 in conference over the weekend, losing to a resurgent Duquesne team by 25. Shawn James, the Duquesne block party host, returned to action with 21 points, 7 boards, and 5 blocks. Kojo Mensah (not Bonsu) added 13, 6 assists, and 6 boards.The Dukes scored 53 in the first half and GW's three point shooting was not there, with the team going 1/8 from behind the beltway for the game. That ain't good. GW outrebounded the Dukes but also had an absurd 29 turnovers, including 7 from Mo Rice and 5 from Cheyenne Moore, who also collected 4 fouls and went 1/4 from the field. Rice scored 9 on 4/9 shooting. On the bright side, Wynton Witherspoon scored 17 and Rob Diggs had another double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds.
GW is now 5-10 and DU is 13-5. Pretty ugly. At least the Dookeznee logo has a stylish cape in it.
GW returns to the Smith Center on Wednesday to face the Hawks of St. Joe's, who are 12-5 and 4-1 in conference.
