GW Men's Hoops Dismantles D-II No. 8 Bowie State, 92-65

Washington, D.C. -- In its exhibition debut under new head coach Mike Lonergan, the George Washington men's basketball team eased by Bowie State, the nation's No. 8 ranked NCAA Division II team, 92-65 at Charles E. Smith Center Sunday evening.

The backcourt duo of senior Tony Taylor and junior Lasan Kromah combined for 35 points, 15 assists and seven steals to lead the Colonials past the Bulldogs in exhibition play for the second year in a row. GW posted an 82-64 win over BSU one year earlier.

Kromah, in his first live game action since the end of his rookie campaign in 2010, led all players with 23 points on 8-of-16 shooting and added six assists, while Taylor posted a near double-double with 12 points and nine assists along with a game-high five steals. Senior Aaron Ware also reached double-figures with 12 points, including 8-of-9 at the foul line, in 18 minutes off the bench.

GW set an up-tempo pace from the opening tip, raced out to a double-digit lead just over seven minutes into the contest and never looked back.
