Game outlook

George Washington is on the road playing Washington St. at the SimpliFI Arena at Stan Sheriff Center stadium on Thursday, 12/22/2022 @ 9:00pm EST. Washington St. -12 was the opening favorite and current line is Washington St. -11.5.

The George Washington Colonials take on the Washington State Cougars in the third of four games opening the Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu, Hawaii. These will be George Washington's last three non-conference games before A-10 play begins. Washington State is 4-6 and has lost two straight games. 9:00pm EST is the time for the opening tap.

The Alley of Paradise

Before school finals week, the Colonials will take the positive vibes from their win over Coppin State to Hawaii. GW led by two at halftime, but pulled away in the second half to win 83-71. As a result, the Colonials snapped a two-game losing streak. James Bishop IV scored 30 points on 10-of-20 shooting, including five three-pointers. With 18 points, including three from downtown, Brendan Adams led GW to victory. In a dominant performance on the glass, GW outrebounded Coppin State 42-22.

In terms of points per game, George Washington is ranked 70th in the country. 166th in the country in three-point field goal percentage, they are middle of the road from downtown.

Hopes of a break-out for cougars

The Washington Cougars have had a less than stellar start to the season as they prepare to play in the ultra-competitive Pac-12. Washington State is 4-6 on the season and has lost two straight games. As a team, the Cougars are just 1-5 away from home and 1-3 on neutral sites. WSU lost 65-59 to the 11th-ranked Baylor Bears in their last game, in the Pac-12 Coast-to-Coast Challenge. Jabe Mullins led the Cougars with 16 points, while TJ Bamba had 14 points. A knee injury had kept Mullins out of the previous four games. Just 40% of the Cougars' shots were successful.

This season, Washington State ranks 177th in points per game, but 34th in 3-point field goal percentage. In turnovers per game, the Cougars rank 263rd in the nation. Mullins' return should help the Cougars in a couple of areas, including ball security and scoring. On defense, the Cougars rank 55th in points allowed and 67th in three-point defense.

The Colonials are over .500 and the Cougars are two games under .500. Taking a closer look at the numbers makes the line more understandable. Utah, Oregon, and Baylor, all teams that had been ranked in the Top-25 at some point this season, have all lost close games to the Cougars, who have played the 59th toughest schedule in the country this year. The Cougars, however, have won four games by an average of 25 points against mid-majors. The Cougars rank 34th in the country against three-pointers, while George Washington is 195th. Washington State's 55th-ranked scoring defense should help them beat the Colonials comfortably.
