WASHINGTON (AP) — George Washington defeated Saint Joseph's 76-71 Wednesday night, snapping a stretch of four straight home losses to the Hawks.
The senior day win keeps the Colonials' (22-7, 10-5 Atlantic 10) hopes for a top-four seed and bye to the A-10 quarterfinals alive. The victory over the Hawks (21-8, 11-4) pulled the Colonials into a fourth-place tie in the A-10 and makes it likely George Washington is headed to the NCAA tournament.
Maurice Creek led the Colonials with 20 points and five rebounds, followed by Joe McDonald, who had 18 points and six boards, Patricio Garino with 17 points, and Isaiah Armwood, who added 15 points and 11 rebounds.
Ronald Roberts put up 16 points and eight rebounds for Saint Joseph's. Chris Wilson added 14 points and Langston Galloway had 10.
