The Revolutionaries come in with the better offensive profile and a spread that implies they’re the sharper side on a neutral floor. Saint Joseph’s counters with a real home-court edge, plus a rebounding base that can flip the math when shots are missed.
From a betting angle, this one is about tempo control and shot distribution. George Washington wants spacing and volume threes. Saint Joseph’s wants to win the glass, get to the line, and make every empty trip costly.

George Washington Revolutionaries Betting Form
George Washington’s offense is built to stress a defense quickly. They score in bunches when the ball moves side-to-side, the threes are coming in rhythm, and they’re not wasting possessions with live-ball turnovers. Even in losses, the shot-making profile stays dangerous, because they can generate points without needing a huge offensive rebounding night.
The road piece is what bettors have to price in. A 4-5 away record isn’t a red flag by itself, but it does show their margin is thinner when the whistle, the rims, and the pace aren’t in their favor. If their early threes don’t fall, they have to be willing to keep playing through the paint and get to the line instead of forcing the same looks.

Saint Joseph’s Hawks Betting Form
Saint Joseph’s is more comfortable turning games into a possession grind, especially at Hagan Arena where they’ve been consistently solid. Their home record matters, but the reason it matters is how they win at home: they rebound, they make opponents finish through contact, and they tend to get enough free throws to stabilize scoring even when the jumper isn’t perfect.
That rebounding number is the hinge in this matchup. If Saint Joseph’s is winning the glass, they’re extending possessions and creating the kind of extra points that break spreads in tight games. And when they’re efficient at the line, close games can swing quickly, because one or two whistles can be worth multiple points versus live-ball scoring.
You can track how that home profile has translated across their full slate at Saint Joseph’s schedule and stats. For betting, I care most about whether they can keep George Washington out of early rhythm threes and force more mid-range possessions late in the clock.
George Washington Revolutionaries vs Saint Joseph’s Hawks Matchup Breakdown
This matchup reads like a classic A-10 push and pull. George Washington wants a cleaner, more modern shot diet: threes, rim attempts, and quick-hitting actions that punish slow rotations. Saint Joseph’s wants to make it physical, control the boards, and make George Washington take one more pass, then one more, until the clock is tight.
The key battleground is second chances and free throws. If Saint Joseph’s is getting extra possessions off misses, George Washington’s offensive advantage gets diluted. If George Washington can rebound well enough to end possessions and avoid foul trouble, their scoring edge becomes more meaningful, especially in a game lined inside a single possession.
There’s also a subtle pace trap here. A total of 153.5 implies real scoring, but scoring and pace are not the same thing. You can get to that number with efficient shooting, or you can miss a bunch, rebound a bunch, and live at the stripe. How this game is officiated will matter, because late fouling and free-throw volume can swing both side and total outcomes in the final four minutes.
If you want to think about this through a pure betting lens, the site’s Expert Betting Guide is a good framework for deciding whether the cleanest angle is side, total, or a derivative based on pace and foul expectations.
George Washington Revolutionaries vs Saint Joseph’s Hawks Predictions and Best Bets
I lean George Washington -2.5 because their offensive ceiling is the best unit on the floor, and this number is basically asking them to win the game. If they’re getting normal three-point volume and not hemorrhaging second chances, they should be able to create a small but real separation over the middle 20 minutes.
The total is trickier at 153.5. The case for the over is obvious: George Washington plays into higher-scoring profiles and can push games upward with shot volume. The case against it is that Saint Joseph’s can win this game while slowing pace and turning points into free throws and put-backs rather than constant transition possessions. That can still score, but it can also produce empty stretches when the half-court gets sticky.
If you’re playing the side, I’d rather back the team with more ways to score cleanly. Saint Joseph’s can absolutely win at home, but the path feels narrower: win the glass, win the line, and keep George Washington’s threes under control. That’s doable, it’s just a lot to demand against an offense that can heat up quickly.
Best Bet: George Washington Revolutionaries -2.5 (-112)
