Men’s Basketball Tops Army, 75-60

Returning home for final exams after a true road win at Old Dominion, GW men's basketball kept its perfect mark alive at the Smith Center this season in a 75-60 win against Army, on the eve of the historic, annual Army-Navy football tomorrow.

Trey Moss carried the load for the GW Revs in the opening 20 minutes, pouring in 13 points, highlighted by 3-of-6 3-point shooting, to push the Revolutionaries to a 35-29 halftime lead.



Army made an early second-half run to take a brief lead, but GW responded in kind and after a Christian Jones three-pointer and Darren Buchanan Jr. lay-in in quick succession gave GW a 12-point lead with just over five minutes to play, an Army timeout ensued. George Washington then threw the knockout punch when a Gerald Drumgoole triple and Rafael Castro slam put the home team up 17, so the final minutes saw George Washington cruise.

Darren Buchanan Jr. (#3) added 12 points & 6 rebounds

Moss went on to lead the team in scoring and assists with 19 and five, while Castro double-doubled with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Buchanan and Drumgoole matched Castro with a dozen as well, while Jones gave GW five in double figures with 11.

Gerald Drumgoole (#5) scored 12 points, including 3 treys

GW's 3-point shooting was the difference maker, shooting nearly 40% with 13 threes. Moss (4-of-9), Jones (3-of-5) and Drumgoole (3-of-8) were all locked in from deep. Army, meanwhile, was held to 5-of-30 (16.7%) from beyond the arc.

Rafael Castro (#30, 12 points) led GW with 12 rebounds

George Washington stays home for finals and the upcoming holidays, finishing off the semester with a pair of home dates next week: Wednesday the 18th vs. Lafayette at 7 p.m. and Sunday the 22nd vs. UVA Wise at noon, both on ESPN+. Conference play then commences at Richmond on New Year's Eve.

Christian Jones (#2) scored 11 points off the bench
