GW Men’s Basketball to Face VCU on Wednesday: Live Stream on Peacock

GW men’s basketball is gearing up for an exciting matchup with second-place VCU on Wednesday night at 7 p.m., and you can catch all the action exclusively on Peacock. As part of International Night, the first 300 GW students will receive a GW International flag.

This game is a showdown between two of the top defenses in the A-10, with only four schools in the country, including GW, ranking in the top 50 nationally in scoring defense, field goal percentage defense, 3-point percentage defense, and steals per game.

The team has been on fire lately, holding consecutive opponents to 53 points or fewer for the first time since December 2014. This impressive defensive performance has led GW to be among the top 50 in steals per game, 3-point defense, field goal defense, and scoring defense in the nation.

One player to watch is Rafael Castro, who has been a standout performer with nine consecutive games scoring in double digits, including four 20-point games and five double-doubles in the mix. Castro leads the A-10 with 10 double-doubles this season, showcasing his versatility on the court.

Despite some uncharacteristic stats, like turning the ball over 20 times in a recent game, GW has found ways to come out on top. They’ve shown resilience by winning games even when shooting below 25% from beyond the arc.

In their history against VCU, GW has struggled, with the Rams holding an 18-4 edge in the series. However, GW secured a victory in their last meeting, and they are eager to repeat that success on their home court.

VCU comes into this matchup as a formidable opponent, leading the A-10 in both NET and KenPom rankings. With players like Joe Bamisile and Max Shulga leading the charge, VCU’s strong defensive presence will test GW’s offense.

So mark your calendars for this exciting game and tune in to see if GW can come out on top against VCU. It’s sure to be a thrilling matchup between two talented teams competing at the highest level.
