WASHINGTON D.C., DEC. 2, 2016 – USF will look for its third consecutive win on Saturday when it plays at George Washington at 2 p.m. in the nation’s capital.

 

The Bulls, at 4-2, are already half way to last season’s win total of eight. They will be trying for three straight wins for the first time since the start of the 2014-15 season, Orlando Antigua’s first season as the head coach.

 

USF will hit the floor in Washington D.C., two days after an 80-76 win at Troy. For the second consecutive game, the Bulls shot well from the floor in the first half (60 percent) and built a big halftime lead (18) to get the win. Junior guard Geno Thorpe (Pittsburgh) scored a career-high 22 points, including the final 20, to lead the Bulls. Thorpe’s scoring average of 16.3 points per game ranks ninth in the American Athletic Conference.

 

Sophomore forward Luis Santos has been USF’s hottest player as the Bronx, N.Y. native has scored in double-figures in each of his last three games and is coming off a career-high 14 points at Troy. He has made his last 12 field goal attempts and leads the conference with a shooting percentage of 81.8.

 

The Opponent

USF’s third game in six days comes against the defending National Invitational Tournament Champions. George Washington (4-3) is coming off a 77-74 win at Harvard on Tuesday. The Colonials return five players, including two starters from the championship team that went 28-10. GW has been led this season by graduate senior Tyler Cavanaugh who leads the team in scoring (18.4), rebounding (8.0) and assists (2.7).
