...coast even without production from two of its most dependable scorers. Senior forward Katie Rollins, who was injured in Friday night’s win at Yale, did not play against the Bears. Co-captain Emily Tay, the team’s second-leading scorer at 11.4 points per game, had just three points on 1-for-5 shooting from the field. But the Crimson’s bread and butter this season has been sharing the load: in each of its 12 wins this season, Harvard has had at least three scorers in double figures. Saturday night...

Yale captain Ross Morin is the most dangerous of this bunch. The forward, a second team All-Ivy selection, was averaging 13.1 points-per-game before Friday’s game. “He’s our captain.

...start of Israel's offensive, one of Abbas' top aides said Hamas was "110 per cent" to blame for the Gaza attack - an unpopular, if not suicidal, stance among Palestinians, whose ire was directed at Israel. Even as the civilian death toll climbed, Abbas delayed several days before criticizing the Israeli offensive. In the West Bank, which Abbas controls by dint of the presence of the Israeli army, his security forces cracked down brutally on fellow Palestinians protesting the Israeli offensive. Palestinians ask why Abbas did not go to Gaza during the fighting to show solidarity with its residents...
