James was fouled!

When is the last time GW won at VCU? Never?

Second time ever. Bishop is one of the GW’s all time great players, but he needed a moment like this. Hopefully its not his last one this year.

Wow. And while Bishop gets the free steak dinner for his bucket, play of the game goes to Akingbola for his rejection of JoBam-- a most deserved opportunity to point at the chump and say "Yo' Mama!". Of course, better rebounding and there would have been no need for Bishop's shot, but I will take a W at VCU any way they come.
Hail to the Buff! Hail to the Blue!!!

I think the Curse of the Goss-bino has been lifted.

Great win. League looks very balanced. As someone said earlier Bishop was fouled on the winning shot. Also got some quality minutes from the bench in the 1st half. You have to give them credit. They play hard and can score. Johnson was clutch in the last 2 minutes. If we could stop fouling on the 3’s it would be nice. Although I don’t think Bamiselle was fouled on his 3.

He was and Max didn’t foul when he got a piece of Shulgas shot that should’ve been reviewed.

There are 2 things I loved about this game.  1)Finally getting the W against VCU and 2) no Patsos

Oh yeah and 3) the “Stretch” block on JoeBamBam right down the throat!

Love this team warts and all!

GO REVS KEEP WORKING!!! Congrats!

Also,Trey and Jacoi are players and their future at GW is bright.

Interesting tidbit is the last two wins vs VCU came in the VCU coach’s first year with the team (Wade in 2016, Rhoades in 2018).

As always, the ref situation at the Siegel Center will be something to monitor. 

I believe I had that one.

And the ref situation WAS something to monitor.  For the first time in forever, VCU was actually called for fouls, including a technical for taunting (should've been called for a second one when Zeb Jackson slapped the floor).  We shot 4 more FTs than VCU.  Dr. John even mentioned how the Siegel Center didn't have the same atmosphere it once did.

Few things:

1. Thought this might be a Quad 1 win, for now its a Quad 2 win until VCU climbs back in the top 75, which they may well do. Either way, very good win

2. We beat VCU on the road on a day they shot 46% from 3. Who saw that coming??

3.  Zam is a few minutes nailed a 3.  He seems to be a good 3 point shooter? Do you expect he may join the rotation?

4.  5 more blocks for Stretch.  What an addition. 

5.  JBIV  28-5-3-2.   One of the truly great clutch players in GW history,
