The real success in this method of punchy writing is Ellen, whose inexhaustible supply of sarcastic retorts only makes her helplessness starker and ultimately moving.Beane...
...making some tough ones at the end of some of the possessions, kind of back-breaking shots, deflating shots for us, and I think very uplifting shots for them,” Amaker said.NOT THEIR HOUS’After being touted as the Crimson’s one-two punch coming into the season, Harris and junior guard Drew Housman have been seeing limited minutes.Neither player started on Saturday night, and the two combined for just 21 minutes and five points—all scored by Housman in the first half.Especially for the guard, this was a far cry from...
