...group that paced this dominating performance late was made up of Lin, Miller, Pusar, freshman Peter Boehm, and classmate Oliver McNally. All five stayed on from the 9:40 mark until the game became a free-throw shooting contest in the final minute. For most, it was their standout game of the season...

Two chewable chalky balls are supposed to equal the jolt of a cup of coffee. I popped a few of the mocha-flavored pellets late one night, and after about five to 10 minutes, I was up eyeing the door instead of my bed. Price: $14.95 for a 90-ball bottle...
