George Washington hasn't been defeated that badly since November 16th 1776.
A Battle of Fort Washington reference?
The military history major in me is happy
These Lady Hokies are playing with that hard hat mentality
Always down for a FAM thread
The Lady Hokies look like a really good BBall team. Coach Brooks has put together a deep and long roster; and he seems to be playing everyone in these early games in all kinds of combinations. That should pay off in depth when we get to ACC play.
I noted in the thread before the game that it would be interesting to see if the game was played at GW's preferred pace or ours. Looks like we played ours and they played theirs. We scored over our season average and they scored their season average.
Looking forward to seeing us play a better team. Not sure App State will be that team.
