GW starts the season with Navy.
Last year Navy had a KenPom of 142.
This year Navy has a KenPom prediction of 274 so good chance to start the year with a victory. Opening games tend to be a bit choppy.
Predicted GW Starting 5?
Line prediction?
Does GW start the new season with a victory opening night?

This game will actually be part of an opening night Doubleheader with the Women tipping off at 5pm and Men slated for a 7:30 tip time
42nd matchup of GW vs Navy, the last game was in 2023, we won 79-77 in OT
GW lost the opening game of the 2020/21 season to Navy, a 78-71 loss.

To be fair, Navy is usually much better than those teams.
Hopefully we play as physically as we did against Georgetown.
