While you are watching Football and eating leftover Turkey, why not tune in for some Beaver Basketball?
OSU @ George Washington - 11:00 A.M. - Charles E. Smith Center - Video with subscription on gwsports.com
The Beavers enter Washington D.C. with a record of 1-3 after falling to Sacramento State last Saturday.
The Beavers were down 22 at halftime against the Hornets before they put on a furious rally. In the end though, the Beavers could not convert down the stretch and fell 65-63. Two players scored in double figures for the Beavers, with Seth Tarver recording 14 points and Calvin Haynes recording 11.
The Colonials come into the game with a record of 4-0 after defeating UNC-Wilmington, Boston U, UMBC, and Princeton. Lasan Kromah and Damian Hollis have lead the way for GW, with Kromah recording 55 points so far and Hollis with 40. In my mind though, the key to this game will be controlling guards Tim Johnson and Aaron Ware. Both Johnson and Ware have average 8.3 points per game this season.
George Washington is a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference and will be challenging teams like Dayton, Temple, Xavier, and Saint Joseph's for the conference title.
Tip-off is set for 11:00 A.M. at the Charles E. Smith Center.
[UPDATE, from Jake:] If you haven't heard already, you'll probably hear it multiple times throughout the year, but the basketball team toured the White House and met President Obama yesterday. According to the report by OSU SID Michael Collins, the President took a few moments to meet everyone individually, deliver some encouraging words and pose for a group picture.
"It was an amazing opportunity," senior forward Seth Tarver said. "Words cannot really describe it. It was impressive to learn about the history of the building and the presidents who have occupied it through the years. I think we were all nervous when we saw President Obama in the room, but he gave us some words of encouragement and lightened the mood."

We're playing great so far
I thought we would be tight in front of the President, but I guess not.

Nope
Not bad at all. But we should be up a lot more. GW decided to get hot in the last few minutes and then we got sloppy. We know they are going to make a run in the 2nd Half, so we just need to settle down and play our game.
This would be a huge win for the team if we can pull it out. GW isn’t as good as I thought they were, but it would still be a big confidence booster going into December.

Any time you can win on the road, especially to stop a losing streak like we currently have. This would be a huge confidence boost

They are shooting 39% from the field and 37% from the line. We are shooting 50% and 88% respectively. Gotta keep that up, this game could be a lot closer

That's going to be a huge game
I watched them in the Maui Invitational this week and I thought they looked pretty good. They took Gonzaga to the wire in the 1st Round but eventually lost. In the 2nd Round they lost a heartbreaker to Arizona in Overtime, and in their final game they defeated Chaminade fairly easily.
After watching GW I’d say they are pretty similar to Colorado. If we play like we did today we should win it.
