...halftime and you’re already up, if you increase your lead in the first five minutes, a lot of times the other team will quit and lie down, and we were able to at least keep it in the 20s and not let them get any momentum.” In its offensive explosion, more than half of the Crimson’s points came in the paint, where it put up 44. Magnarelli led the team with 17 points, and three other players put up double figures, mostly from close range. Pusar scored 16 points, while junior...
...first three first-period power-play opportunities, persistent Ohio State broke through at 5-on-5 late in the frame. With 1:23 to go in the first, OSU freshman Kyle Reed tapped a rebound past sophomore goalie Kyle Richter to tie the score.

Polling has indicated, however, that unaffiliated...
...hasn't been as kind to long-shot Democrats this year, though you wouldn't know it by the crowds in the last few days. The numbers at nearly every event in the final days have been so large that it can seem as if all the candidates have momentum, whether they actually do or not. Joe Biden has been drawing crowds of several hundred wherever he goes - unprecedented for Biden, and in most years a good omen. But since Democratic excitement is running at such a high pitch this year, it probably means far less this time around. Obama...
