Caputo Era Starts with an 85-58 Win Against Virginia State
Bishop goes for 21, ties career-best with nine helpers
That's how the official ledger will begin in the history books when Chris Caputo's all-time record as a Head Coach is listed. GW students emptied the residence halls and poured into the Charles E. Smith Center in Foggy Bottom on Monday night as the 2022-23 college hoops season began in earnest. It was the dawn of the Caputo era at GW and the massive student turnout did not leave disappointed. In a wire-to-wire win against visiting Virginia State, Caputo guided his charges and new-look Buff and Blue club to a runaway home win.

Men's Hoops Handles Business in Exhibition Win vs. Western Connecticut State, 78-61
Bishop provides team-leading 19, Edwards adds 18
If the unofficial start to the Chris Caputo era for GW men's basketball is any indication, the Buff and Blue can pack some offensive punch. Making the start in their first game experience on the Charles E. Smith Center floor, transfer students Max Edwards and EJ Clark found the iron kind in the cozy venue, as the pair connected on a combined 5-of-9 shooting from long range to spark a GW prolific attack from the home club in the 78-61 rout.

Chevy Chase Pavilion is practically empty. It's about to get even emptier. CVS Pharmacy is closing their 5335 Wisconsin Avenue, NW location on August 25th, further reducing the once popular shopping mall to a literal ghost town in a few weeks. The next closest CVS branches are at 4555 Wisconsin Avenue, NW (close to Tenleytown-AU Metro) and 5550 Connecticut Avenue, NW (before Chevy Chase Circle.) If you need someplace closer to fill your prescriptions, Rodman's remains open at 5100 Wisconsin Avenue.
