GW vs Navy Game Thread
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?

Re: GW vs Navy Game Thread
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.
Navy won 26 games last year under 1st year Coach Jon Perry, including 17-1 in league play.
They finished the year with a competitive 82-72 game at #1 NIT seed Wake Forest on the road.

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

Re: GW vs Navy Game Thread
Navy won their league last year but picked 5th this season.
American is picked to win the league. Navy does have the Defensive player of the year pick Cole and a few all league picks including Cam Cole.
Antxon Iturbe's Nephew is a 3rd Team all league pick
