Start the slideshow! Posted Wednesday, Jan. 11, 11:28 p.m. The GW women’s basketball team played Wednesday night like it wanted revenge.

Simmonds solid from the line Senior center Jessica Simmonds was her usual aggressive self offensively, taking the ball to the basket and drawing fouls. Against Tennessee, Simmonds shot seven-of-10 from the free throw line, far better than her season average of 28.6 percent. Simmonds said she spent “all week in the gym” practicing her shot. […]

The instructor, as mandated by University policy, is forced to uneasily excuse himself or herself from class five or 10 minutes early while students are asked to rate his or her performance. What follows is usually a noisy […]
It has become an American Christmas tradition to go see Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. The Washington Ballet has breathed new life into the classic play, making what was once timeless now everlasting. Instead of in the usual English high society of the late 1800s, the Washington Ballet’s version, choreographed by Septime Webre, begins in Georgetown. But […]
Thompson missed T.J. Thompson was GW’s star during BB&T tournaments of years past, scoring 27 points against Maryland last year to lead the Colonials to their first ranking since 1999. Thompson showed his emotional leadership in big games and GW head coach Karl Hobbs realized that during GW’s 78-70 win over the Terrapins Monday night. […]
