...shooting has become a trend for the Crimson, as the squad has allowed opponents to hit 41 percent of their shots from three during its eight game losing streak. In its first 18 games, Harvard held opponents to 35 percent shooting from long range. The difference even becomes more stark when one throws out the games in that span in which the Crimson came within 10 of the win. In the last five contests that Harvard lost by double-digits, the team has allowed the opposition to shoot over 47 percent from behind the arc. BIG MAN IN HIDING Since...

The athletes are shown in rapid-motion superimposed freeze-frames, making a tennis serve into a fan of limbs. Who plays tennis with no net in the dark? It looks pretty neat regardless...
...Crash earned some rave reviews--notably from Roger Ebert, who recently said the movie ranks with the best Dickens novels. He has pegged it to win the top Oscar. Other reviews read like hate mail. Fueled in part by that stark critical contrast, Crash became, as Cheadle puts it, "the quintessential watercooler movie. It also gave people a way into a discussion that most people don't want to reference. No one wants to say, 'You know I was yelling at this Chinese guy in the store the other day ... ' or 'This person called me a name...
