| Key sign it was over |
Noel Wilmore hit a three-pointer in the closing seconds of the first half to send GW into the locker room with a 52-18 lead.

| Key statistic |
While the Colonials owned a sizable advantage in nearly every statistical category, their 37-11 edge in points off turnovers was particularly noteworthy.
