Senior guard named to All-Atlantic 10 Second Team
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - GW men's basketball senior guard James Bishop IV was named to the Preseason A-10 All-Conference Second Team, the league announced on Thursday. It marks the second-straight year in which Bishop has earned the accolade.
Bishop has showcased his prolific scoring touch in two years donning the Buff & Blue, earning a Third Team All-Conference honor following the 2021-22 season and finishing second in the league in scoring in each of his two campaigns.
The southpaw sensation paced GW with 16.7 ppg last season and became the first Colonial since Yuta Watanabe in 2017-18 to score 500 points in a single season (502). He crossed the 20-point threshold 10 times, including a career-high 30 points at Saint Louis.
In two years in Foggy Bottom, the Baltimore native has scored 827 points for an average of 17.6 ppg, the eighth-best in program history and highest since all-time leading scorer Chris Monroe put up 19.1 ppg from 1999-2003. The Baltimore native is second among A-10 returners in career points behind only Richmond's Tyler Burton (1,007).
Bishop and the Colonials take to the floor for the first time on Sunday, Oct. 30 in an exhibition against Western Connecticut State at 2 p.m. GW officially opens the campaign on Monday, Nov. 7 vs. Virginia State at 7 p.m.
