PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 14- Something was different when the GW men's basketball team tipped off its 62-56 loss to Saint Joseph's Wednesday night in Philadelphia. For the first time since 2003, and for only the second time in his four-year career, senior guard Carl Elliott did not start the game.
Heading to Halton Arena for the first time Thursday night to play Charlotte, some might think that the No. 8/9 GW (AP, ESPN/USA Today) women's basketball team should be fazed by the 49ers' 22-game home winning streak. For junior Kim Beck, Charlotte is just another team on the schedule.
GW's men's basketball coach Karl Hobbs decided before Saturday's 84-72 win against Temple at Smith Center that his team, coming off four straight losses, needed a change. Hobbs benched senior Dokun Akingbade and sophomore Rob Diggs, a pair of his big men, for the start of the game.
