Game Preview: 3.20 vs Wisconsin Herd

After two games on the road, the Capital City Go-Go return back to Washington, D.C. to face the Wisconsin Herd.

In Saturday’s matchup, the Go-Go fell behind early, trailing by 6 at halftime. The team kept the game close throughout, but the Spurs would eventually pull away with a 115-100 victory. Diallo scored a then career-high 34 points. Capital City guard R.J. Hampton also had a 25-point evening, shooting 50% from the field, with 7 assists. 

In Sunday’s matchup, the Go-Go trailed by 16 at halftime, but mounted a 4^th quarter run that came up short in a 120-112 loss. Diallo outdid his career-high 34-point effort from the previous night, pouring in 41 points on 13 of 20 shooting.
