GW Men's Hoops Improves to 4-0 with 92-81 Win Over Army
Larsen leads Colonials with 21 points as Colonials shoot 50-percent from field
In its first home contest since downing #6 Virginia on Monday, the George Washington men's basketball team (4-0) fought off an Army squad (3-1) that wouldn't go quietly.
Kevin Larsen led five Colonials in double figures in scoring with 21 points on an 8-for-11 night from the floor, while Matt Hart's best performance in a GW uniform netted 17.

After leading throughout the first half and taking a 46-35 lead into the locker room at halftime, GW saw Army pull ahead at 50-49 early in second half. Army led 53-51 at the 13:48 mark of the second half, but the Colonials had the Black Knights in foul trouble for much of the second stanza and buried 18-of-23 second half free throws to put the game away at the line.
