It's almost March Madness, and while a few area teams (like Georgetown) will be dancing no matter what, a few others need to win their conference tournaments. George Washington was one of those after finishing 17-14, a surprisingly high 5th in the Atlantic 10 conference. Unfortunately for Colonials fans, after last night's overtime loss to St. Joseph's Hawks, they'll be hoping for a bid to one of the lesser tournaments. Throughout the night, GW looked lethargic and was down by as much as 14, until the team, spurred by the Charles E. Smith Center crowd, came alive with 5 minutes to go. The Colonials started to force turnovers and scored at will, tying it up with 30 seconds to go thanks to point guard Tony Taylor, leading all scorers with 22. After another Hawks turnover GW had the ball with a chance to win it, but missed two short shots with time expiring. In overtime, the Hawks dominated, outscoring the home team 22-10. The crowd was the biggest all year and internet celebrity Robert Kasmir was on hand for the game, but wasn't tossed out this time. The Maryland Terps' hopes are still alive, with the ACC tournament starting tomorrow. They play NC State in the first round. more ›
