GW set a slew of records in this game, holding the Billikens to 20 points, the fewest ever in the NCAA's shot clock era. It broke the record of 21 held by Princeton and Georgia Southern. SLU scored 7 points in the first half, a Smith Center record and the fewest by a GW opponent in the last 65 years. While SLU had 7 points, GW had 7 blocks in the first half. Those two-a-days must have paid off.
SLU shot .146 for the game, including 3/25 in the first half and 1/19 from three. Wowsers. GW's defense was smothering in the first half and excellent in the second, with a total of 11 blocks and 9 steals for the game versus only 7 turnovers. It was a bizarre game to watch, with buzz like a no-hitter in baseball. For the Colonials, Damian Hollis scored 13 and added 10 boards, while Mo Rice added 12. Joseph Katuka played pretty well down low while Cheyenne Moore and Miles Beatty didn't play at all. The offense even showed a semblance of efficiency at times.
Bryce Husak led SLU, if you want to call it that, with 5 points. Wow.
Has GW finally figured out what it needs to do? What do you think?\
UPDATE: Here's the ESPN highlight video. Good stuff.

Then yes, I'd say that would help the season along greatly.
Sorry, this game spoke much more about how awful SLU was than show any promise of a decent GW team.
The negatives - we still don't seem to be in sync on offense. We really should have been able to put up a lot more points then we did. No one wanted to drive to the basket, instead just setting up camp around the three-point line.
Good new on the recruiting front heard on the broadcast that Tony Taylor dropped 54 a few weeks ago and is averaging 30/game - http://www.maxpreps.com/FanPages/Player.mxp/AffiliateID-3b52e070-c010-4528-97b3-911e1cf77245/AreaID-6ce88657-358c-4b96-acd7-d1683b42774c/AthleteID-d8d0a94c-a309-4f26-baa3-393247a04a41/SchoolID-ddb1501f-6857-409a-ae29-3981b73ab21c/Boys_Varsity_Basketball_Winter_07-08/NewYork
