George Washington didn’t leave much to debate Monday night. The Colonials put La Salle on its heels early and never let up, rolling to a 104-77 win on Feb. 24, 2026, in a result that underscored the gap between a team fighting to stabilize its season and one still searching for answers.

With the win, George Washington improved to 15-12 and halted the slide implied by its recent LWWLL form. La Salle fell to 8-19, and its WLLLL stretch now reads like a season-long problem rather than a temporary dip.

The story: pace, pressure, and a scoreboard that kept climbing

Any game that reaches 104 points is, by definition, played on the winner’s terms. George Washington’s offense consistently generated scoring to the point that La Salle couldn’t simply “weather the storm” — the storm never stopped. The Colonials cleared the century mark while holding La Salle to 77, turning the final minutes into clock management rather than a competitive finish.

Turning point: when the margin stopped being manageable

Without quarter-by-quarter scoring available, the clearest inflection is the overall scoring profile: George Washington’s ability to stack points into triple digits while keeping La Salle in the 70s. That combination typically reflects extended stretches where one side is both scoring efficiently and forcing the opponent into empty possessions — the kind of run that turns a two-possession game into a double-digit deficit that doesn’t come back.

What it means going forward

George Washington

At 15-12, George Washington is still in the business of building a résumé and momentum. A 104-point outburst is the kind of performance that can sharpen identity late in the season: play fast, score in waves, and put opponents in a constant chase. The immediate task is sustaining that level of offensive force beyond a single night.

La Salle

For La Salle, now 8-19, the urgency is less about a single result and more about stabilizing. The Explorers have been living in the margins lately — and in this one, there were no margins to live in. Getting back to competitive basketball starts with controlling game flow; when the opponent dictates tempo and gets to 104, the margin for error disappears.
