The George Washington Colonials (10-9, 4-2) will host the Saint Joseph's Hawks (9-10, 3-4) On Wednesday in an Atlantic-10 matchup. These two teams have not yet played this season, but they will face off again on February 11.
St. Joes started the season 6-6 after non-conference action, with a resume that included losses to No. 3 Houston, Georgia, and Villanova. Things did start sweet in the Atlantic 10, but after getting to a 0-4 start in conference action, the Hawks now find themselves on a three-game winning streak, with victories over Loyola Chicago (86-55), La Salle (71-59), and UMass (74-68). Making the winning streak even more impressive is that the Hawks have found themselves ranging from a three-point favorite to two point underdog over the stretch. They are now 10-9 against the spread this season.
