Despite a strong performance from Malcolm Brogdon, the Hoos just couldn't come back late and lose to George Washington 73-68.
After dismantling Morgan State on Friday night, the Hoos got the test they were looking for when they traveled up Route 29 to visit the George Washington Colonials. Fueled by a raucous home crowd the Colonials were able to spring the upset of the number six team in the country.
Leading the way for Virginia was Malcolm Brogdon with 28 points and 9 rebounds. After a somewhat sluggish start, Brogdon took over the game late in the first half.
