Sophomore guard Carl Elliott gets mobbed by teammates after his running three-pointer rattled in as the clock expired. DAYTON, Ohio – With the game tied at 59 and the clock ticking down Saturday afternoon, the situation looked bleak. Dayton had the ball, seemingly poised to take the game’s last shot and re-capture the Atlantic 10 […]
What do garden hoes, hammers, men in designer jeans and class suck-ups have in common? They’re all tools, according to many GW students. Just as popular ’90s flicks like “Clueless” integrated the Valley Girl phrases “whatever” and “as if” into last decade’s vernacular, a new generation of young adults has again refreshed the English language.

John Chaney is old, ornery and ostentatious. But is he crazy, evil and a detriment to college basketball? Like many high-profile coaches, he has always toed the proverbial baseline. He has brilliantly thrived with one foot in bounds and one out. But it seems as though one act last week, one simple set of directions, […]

Demonstrators marched nearly two miles from Lafayette Park to the Capitol to call for increased funding for medical research and other measures to help end the pandemic.
