Stories from the January 23, 2006, Print Edition
Going into this weekend's games at Rhode Island and Massachusetts, the women's basketball team had the added pressure of proving its right to be in the top 25 of women's college basketball, an honor bestowed on Jan. 16. The added pressure may have added to the Colonials' road slipup.
GW gets 87 on A-10 honor roll Eighty-seven GW student-athletes were named to the 2005 Fall Semester Commissioner's Honor Roll. To be eligible for the list, a student must have a 3.5 or higher grade-point average. The women's rowing team had 17 members qualifying while men's and women's soccer, men's and women's diving, and men's and women's cross country each had 10 or more students placed on the list.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Before the days of a ranked GW men's basketball team, head coach Karl Hobbs used to shrug off home wins, stating that his team's success would be validated with consistent wins in hostile Atlantic 10 arenas. Two down, only a few more to go in those arenas.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - After Charlotte's successful run in Conference USA - marked by NCAA tournament appearances in seven of the last nine seasons - coaches in the Atlantic 10 conference voted the 49ers to finish second in the league behind GW. Because of the team's past achievements, pundits often pointed to the two games during conference play when GW and Charlotte would face off as critical contests for both squads.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Charlotte and the Halton Arena may house some of the toughest fans in the Atlantic 10. Fans behind the GW bench employed techniques that should be considered cruel and unusual punishments to any human being. 49er fans started off by telling seniors Mike Hall and Pops Mensah-Bonsu - who both considered going professional last year - that they don't belong in the NBA but proceeded to tell them several times that they should go back to the pros.
