The George Washington Colonials come into this game looking to shake off a 56-54 loss to Boston U last time out. James Bishop leads the Colonials in scoring with 15.6 PPG while Joe Bamisile has 13 PPG with 6.2 RPG and Brendan Adams has 10 PPG with 4.2 RPG as the third and last double-digit scorer for George Washington so far this season. Ricky Lindo Jr. also has 9.8 PPG and a team-high 7.8 RPG as well this season. As a team, George Washington’s averaging 62.2 PPG on 40.2% shooting from the field, 27.5% from three and 68.5% from the foul line while allowing 69.7 PPG on 41.5% shooting from the field and 27.9% from three this season.
The Charlotte 49ers will look to rebound from a 75-58 loss to Davidson in their last game. Jahmir Young leads Charlotte in scoring with 18.7 PPG as well as in assists with 4.5 APG as well while Clyde Trapp has 11.2 PPG with a team-high 6.3 RPG as well as the only other double-digit scorer for Charlotte so far this season. Austin Butler has 9.8 PPG with 5.7 RPG and Aly Khalifa has 9.5 PPG with 5 RPG as well this season.

George Washington is 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a loss and 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall while the under is 8-1 in their last 9 games as an underdog. Charlotte is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games and 5-17-1 ATS in their last 23 games as a favorite while the under is 9-3 in their last 12 games following a double-digit home loss.
I get the case that could be made both ways but I think I’m leaning towards the under here. These are two lower-scoring teams and it almost has the vibe of a first to 60 wins kind of game if we even get to that benchmark. Look for this to be a bit of a brickfest with the under coming in easily.
