Tre Dinkins' team-leading 22 points off the bench in Saturday's win over South Florida highlighted the depth George Washington possesses. All eight players that appeared in Saturday's game made at least two field goals and scored six or more points.
GW has seen seven different players reach double figures with Tyrone Marshall Jr. scoring 10+ in both games. As a result, seven players are averaging between 10.5 and 13.0 ppg, and GW is one of just two schools nationally to have seven double-figure averages in multiple games against D-I competition (Kentucky).

Head Coach Chris Caputo coached his 100th game at George Washington on Nov. 8 vs. South Florida, improving his career record to 54-46 with the win over the Bulls.
Caputo's 54 wins in his first 100 games is the fourth-most in program history, trailing only Bill Reinhart (74-26, 1935-41), Bob Tallent (65-35, 1974-78) and Mike Jarvis (63-37, 1990-94).
A LOOK AT THE EAGLES
Coming off a Patriot League Tournament Championship and an NCAA Tournament First Four berth, American features a new look this year with four starters gone from a year ago. Of the Eagles' 19 players on the roster, nine are freshmen.
One of those rookies - Madden Collins - led AU to its first win of the season on Sunday vs. Penn scoring 25 points. Five additional Eagles are averaging double figures through the season's first two games as AU has averaged 79.0 ppg in their games at Wake Forest and vs. Penn.
Head Coach Duane Simpkins is in his third year at American after leading the team to its first NCAA Tournament bid since 2014. AU was projected to finish fourth in the Patriot League this year and is the first of two teams in the league on GW's schedule (at Army, Dec. 2).
