Possibly Bob Tallent,and that was before 3-pointers.

Bob Tallent was the last Colonial to do it, in 1968-69, according to a Facebook post by GW Men's Basketball!

26 points 5 dimes, on 13 shotsm,  for James Bishop as GW wins 81-73

looking very much like 1st Team all A10 and POY of year candidate 

All of this is very well and good and gives us something to boast about.
But it really matters when we win, like today's excellent game from James and others/

Good find!  Crochet? That's amazing

I'm glad CC said it because most wouldn't but it's the truth.  The blown calls robbed us of the Washington St win (top 60 KenPom) and then sunk that tourney, the latter you can blame on us for not bouncing back better but it did seem to deflate the trip

Otherwise we've played really well for the most part so far and above expectations, fueled as he notes by 3 career years. 

The incoming recruits will be far more important but everything helps when turning around a program

Great to see the improvement in JBIV's game.  Was always a natural scorer but he has improved his decision-making immensely.  He's quite a weapon to have down the stretch of a close game.  Always an excellent chance he will score, get fouled or find the open man.  The one knock has been the volume of three point attempts (the knock goes away if he were making them at close to a 40% clip) but he's obviously confident that this can improve.  I suspect JBIV will have some attractive professional options to consider.

James is now on pace to be 10th in all time scoring at GW by the end of the season. And it's not just his prolific scoring. He makes the players around him better too, which was not as much the case his first year here.

Is Bishop definitely gone after this year?  He does have an extra year of eligibility left because of the Covid year, right?  Especially with his improvement under CC and the program headed in the right direction, I'd think it would be helpful to his pro prospects to stay

His pro prospects (regardless of the level)  I'd say hinge on improving his pure shooting.   He's a great scorer he could improve as a shooter - he goes through mini slumps as a pure shooter (from the line too) he'll need  to improve on to reach his peak.    

His pro comp I'd say is someone like Cam Thomas.   

He decided to stay at GW despite a Coaching change (when 2 of the top 3 players bolted) so he seems to really like his GW experience

James is second in the A10 with 101 assists,  3rd is 89

incredibly Yuri Collins has 202.  #1 in the nation, #1 in the nation last year too, #1 in the A10 3 years in a row
He must be taking aim at the all time A10 record (even with all those games lost to the pandemic)

Yuri Collins figures to me in the mix for POY with James, Holmes, Burton.  Anyone else atop the list?

I believe Bishop passed Carl Elliot last night in all-time points. On pace to finish 12th all time in GW history. Also on pace to finish top 10 in minutes played in a single season.

Bishop is already 5th in all time points for players with only 3 or less years at GW, behind only Corky Devlin (52-55), Jon Feldman (59-62), Tyler Cavanaugh (15-17) and SirValient Brown (99-01). He should pass Tyler and SirVal in the next game or two.
