WASHINGTON — Mike Lonergan has his biggest win in five years as George Washington’s coach. His Colonials beat No. 6 Virginia 73-68 on Monday night.
But first, he had to overcome a faux pas. With just over three minutes to play, George Washington was assessed a technical foul for having six men on the court.
“I’m glad we won because I’ve never had six guys on the court. I take the blame for that. I thought I’d get (criticized) in here if that came back to haunt us,” Lonergan said.
It didn’t matter.
The Colonials (2-0) took control with a 10-0 run that began with Patricio Garino’s three-point play for a 57-55 lead with 8:06 left.
