<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/george-washington-colonials">George Washington Colonials</a> went on the road to Philadelphia on Wednesday looking to extend a season-high three-game win streak against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/la-salle-explorers">La Salle Explorers</a>. But La Salle rolled up the Colonials to cruise to a 78-63 win. The guard duo of <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/99755/lasan-kromah">Lasan Kromah</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/52270/tony-taylor">Tony Taylor</a> struggled for <span class="caps">GWU</span>, hitting only nine of 23 attempts from the floor. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/123576/nemanja-mikic">Nemanja Mikic</a> led the team with 13 points, while Kromah added ten.</p>
<p>La Salle had its way on the offensive end, as they lit up <span class="caps">GWU</span> for 57 percent from the floor. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/101135/ramon-galloway">Ramon Galloway</a> went off, hitting six of seven attempts from behind the arc and finishing with a game-high 28 points. He sparked a 51-point first half that gave the Explorers a 13-point cushion after twenty minutes. Mike Longeran has seen these first half no-shows on the defensive end before this season, and this was another instance where the Colonials built too big a hole to crawl out of.</p>
<p>They look to get back on track on Saturday in the Bronx against a Fordham team that is just 1-4 in the conference.</p>
