This years schedule leaves lots of room for GW to prove just how special this team is, highlighted by a date at #20 Stanford on November 21. This years' schedule also includes Fresno State, Iowa, #24 FGCU, and of course, Dayton.
And now a game-by-game season preview:
GW vs CNU: November 8
GW kicks off the season with a pre-season date with Christoper Newport, and cruises to an easy victory.

Another easy victory for the Colonials, as they move to 1-0.
Score: W, 103-78
GW vs American: November 17
The Colonials face crosstown rival AU Eagles and grab their second win of the season. This one will be a bit closer, as we may be looking ahead to Stanford just a little.

GW at #20 Stanford: November 21
The Colonials will FINALLY get the respect they deserve, as I see GW getting a HUGE win for the program.
Socre: W, 81-73
GW at Fresno State: November 23
The Colonials trounced the Bulldogs last year at the Smith Center, and I see no reason why this year should be any different.,

The hot start for the Colonials continues to fuel wins, and GW picks up an easy win heading into a showdown with Iowa
Score: W, 88-73
GW vs Iowa: November 27 [Lone Star Showcase]
Despite the fact I believe GW could easily handle the Hawkeyes, I fear the gas tank runs out after 4 games in 7 days, and the Colonials are felt their first loss of the season,
Score: L, 77-71
GW vs vs Wright State: November 28 [Lone Star Showcase]
I expect the Colonials to bounce right back after the loss to Iowa, and right the ship.
Score: W, 92-67
GW vs #24 FGCU: December 3
For this game, I expect a close, high scoring game that could go into overtime, but I see GW getting the win at home.
Score: W, 94-90 OT
GW at Memphis: December 6
I'm going to be completely honest about this game: I REALLY want the ladies' to go out and avenge the Men's 2014 NCAA Tournamnet loss to the Tigers. And they will.
Score: W, 78-56
GW vs Villanova: December 13
The Colonials play their last game vs a power-conference team of the season and I fully expect them to make the most of it.

GW vs Iona: December 20
The Colonials roll on into Iona with a big first half performance from JJ and Shannon and cruise to the finish.
Score: W, 83-60

I honestly believe this will be Shannon Cranshaw's coming out party, where she hits 4-5 threes and boosts the Colonials to another win.
Score: W, 90-57
GW at Saint Joes: January 3 (CBSSN)
In their first of 5 nationally televised games, and A10 opener, I expect GW to cruise to an easy win over the Hawks.
Score: W, 77-61
GW vs Rhode Island: January 6 (NBCSN)
As long as Coach Tsipis can keep the team focused and not look ahead to Dayton, I see no reason why GW loses this one.

In a game I hope to attend in person, I can state with absolute confidence that GW's recent domination over the Flyers will continue as GW pulls away late to win at Dayton.

GW vs La Salle: January 13
GW returns home and is greeted with an easy victory against the Explorers.
Score: W, 78-53
GW at Duquesne: January 17 (ESPNU)
This game leaves me feeling a little unsettled: while I believe GW could easily beat the Dukes, I fear a misstep in Pittsburgh could hand the Colonials their first A10 loss of the season.
Score: L, 67-59
GW vs UMass: January 20
The Colonials will bounce right back and trounce UMass at home.
Score: W, 91-54
GW vs George Mason: January 23
In their Revolutionary Rivalry opener, GW- as always- will get the W over the Patriots (just make sure the balls are fully inflated)

GW at Davidson: January 27
The Colonials will continue, full speed ahead into North Carolina and get the win over Davidson easily.

New York has always been a place of success for the Colonials, and will continue to be.

Much like the URI game on January 6th, as long as GW stays focused and doesn't look ahead, I see the Spiders giving GW no problems.

Despite it being Valentines Day, I see GW showing Dayton no love, and powering past the Flyers in a closely contested game.
Score: W, 63-58
GW at Saint Bonnaventure: February 17
The last four games of the season should all be easy victories, as they pick up a W vs the Bonnies.

The Rams also pose no threat as GW continues to climb through the rankings.
Score: W, 92-66
