HALL OF FAME TIP-OFF: GW's matchup with Stony Brook is the first of four games that are part of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic. The Colonials also play host to Siena on Thursday at 7 p.m. in the second campus-round game, before heading to the main event at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, Nov. 17-18. There, GW will face Michigan and either South Carolina or Providence.
ABOUT STONY BROOK: Stony Brook returns three of its top four scorers from last season's squad, which went 13-19 and reached the semifinals of the America East Tournament. The Seawolves were picked to finish fifth in the league's preseason poll and were represented by junior forward Akwasi Yeboah (team-high 15.3 ppg last season) on the preseason All-Conference team.
TOUGH OPENING STRETCH: In addition to the aforementioned matchups to open the season, the Colonials will also challenge themselves with a trip to Charlottesville to take on Virginia on Sunday, Nov. 11.
