If the Colonials’ quartet of seniors had anything they wanted to say after their final game donning the buff and blue Saturday, they didn’t stick around to do it. Head coach Karl Hobbs solemnly strode into the postgame press conference all alone, no players flanking his sides following the 63-53 loss to Temple. By the […]
Correction appended For seniors watching the GWork Web site for job openings, a new post may be popping up soon – one with a six-figure salary. After two catastrophic years, it may be time for men’s basketball coach Karl Hobbs and GW to part ways. Saturday night’s game, which was the last game for all […]
