    Scouting the Colonials
    George Washington University went 12-18 and 8-9 in the A-10 conference last season. The Colonials were picked to finish 12th in the A-10 conference as they look to right the ship with Chris Caputo in his first season as Head Coach of the GW men's basketball team. Like the Trojans, the Colonials are an older team as they only have one true freshman on their roster. 10 of their returners combined for 60% of the team's points and 70% of the team's minutes from a season ago. GW senior guard James Bishop IV was named to the Preseason A-10 All-Conference Second Team which marks the second-straight year in which Bishop has earned the accolade. Bishop IV led GW with 16.7 ppg with 10 20-point games, including a career-high 30 points at Saint Louis a season ago.
