Second Half Spurt Keys GW win Over Howard
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Dadrian Collins scored a career- and team-high 17 points and Kandi Mukole came off the bench to add a season-high 14 but it was not enough to offset a second half surge that enabled George Washington University to pull away to an 81-63 win over Howard in a non-conference men's basketball game at the Smith Center.
A 6-5, 190-pound freshman forward from Williamsburg, VA, Collins hit on 6 of 10 from the field, including 3 of 6 from three-point range, offsetting his previous high of 13 against American University on December 5.
The Bison (1-13) played their best half of the season but still trailed, 36-32 at intermission. Senior guard Curtis White led the way by scoring all 12 of his points in the first 20 minutes.
