...seconds left in the game, the opponent needs a long-distance three-point shot to tie it up. So, it would stand to reason, you should prevent the other player from taking that potentially heart-breaking heave by fouling him before he has a chance to shoot the ball. In the college game, that usually sends the opponent to the line, forcing him to make the first free throw, and then miss the second one intentionally with the faint hope of grabbing an offensive rebound and tying the game before the buzzer sounds.

But Sinnott’s not just a pretty face on the catwalk—she’s also...
Soon after spring break last year, my blockmates and I were eating in Winthrop, heading to the river for stein club, and buying tickets to the Arbella Ball. These few months between housing day and summer break were the perfect residential limbo: I had all the benefits of hanging and dining in a river house while still enjoying my spacious Grays common room...
