...strangeness that contrasts with the traditional perception of Chekhov as a realist. Although the choice to stylize the text in this way is interesting, the embellishments can become so far-fetched that the work becomes inaccessible. At these times, Lupa seems more interested in seeing how far he can stretch the work in absurdist directions than in carefully coaxing sympathy for the characters, or at least an understanding of their desperation. Thus, while technically fascinating, Lupa’s “Three Sisters,” unfortunately, tends to be bogged down by its own cleverness...
...Thus far this season, embarrassing losses have lit fires under the Crimson skaters. Early-November defeats at the hands of Quinnipiac and Cornell were followed by a 4-0-1 run. Two of those wins and the tie came against top-15 opponents. And then in an early-December stretch of three games in five days, Harvard lost to conference whipping boy Yale, only to down Quinnipiac and shut out then-No. 9 New Hampshire. But the Crimson won’t play again until it travels for a pair of contests against the No. 9 University of North Dakota...

The last Ivy player to receive votes in the Buchanan Award chase was Harvard linebacker Dante Balestracci, who made the 16-player finalist group in both his junior and senior seasons. New Hampshire coach Sean McDonnell took home the Eddie Robinson Award, which...
...can’t have it both ways. If you’re going to go for steals and generate turnovers, you’re not going to have a low field-goal percentage defense.” The Blackbirds came no closer than six down the stretch, 79-73, before freshman point guard Drew Housman and junior guard Jim Goffredo combined for an 8-0 run that sealed the deal. Long Island forward Eugene Kotorbai nailed a three from the top of the arc with just over six minutes left in the game...
