Only one day removed from becoming the all-time winningest coach in NCAA men's basketball history, Texas Tech Coach Bob Knight is right back to business as usual. Sure, he fielded a call of congratulations from Detroit Tigers Manager Jim Leyland - as well as from scores of his former players, but he spent most of the day watching film of his Red Raiders eking out a victory over New Mexico on Monday. And he's been watching film of Oklahoma, Texas Tech's next opponent. He took time out from watching film, holding practice, and a January round...
...students and fans wanted to shut down the program, the better to concentrate on mourning. But they reckoned without the team's survivors, who rallied their spirits, and without the doubting but eventually doughty college president (David Straithairn), who has to find a coach and, incidentally, talk the NCAA into letting Marshall play freshmen (which was against the rules in those days).

...season when it handed the Crimson a 3-1 loss in Hanover on Jan. 30. The loss was part of a 0-2-2 stretch for Harvard. With the return of the Olympians and any bitterness left over from last year—the Crimson made the NCAA postseason in the end, while Dartmouth sat on the outside looking in—will make the rivalry roaring and ready to go when the first puck drops at 7:00 pm tonight. “It is Harvard-Dartmouth,” Martin said, “its always...
