WASHINGTON - GW men's basketball announced the schedule for Coach Chris Caputo's first season on Wednesday, featuring a non-conference tournament in Hawai'i and nine total games on national television. The Colonials will play at 18 times in the Charles E. Smith Center, including a preseason exhibition, eight non-conference home games and nine matchups with Atlantic 10 foes.
Buff & Blue fans will have their first chance to meet and greet the 2022-23 team at GW Hoops Fest on Saturday, Oct. 1 from 4-6 p.m. Fans will have the opportunity to select their seats for the upcoming year, play knockout on the Smith Center floor, interact with players from the men's and women's programs and take part in a Q&A with select student-athletes and coaches.
Following a public exhibition against Western Connecticut State on Sunday, Oct. 30, the Buff & Blue will officially begin the Coach Caputo era on Monday, Nov. 7 against Virginia State. GW will play six home games in the season's first month, including matchups with Howard (Friday, Nov. 11), Maryland Eastern Shore (Friday, Nov. 18), UC San Diego (Tuesday, Nov. 22) and New Hampshire (Saturday, Nov. 26).
The marquee matchup of the home non-conference slate comes on Wednesday, Nov. 30 with a nationally-televised matchup against South Carolina on CBS Sports Network. The Gamecocks feature consensus top-10 recruit GG Jackson and mark the first "Power 5" opponent to visit Foggy Bottom since No. 6 Miami in December 2017.
