...teams stick a long, physical defender on Flato—Jaaber held him to 11 points in the teams’ second meeting last season, eliminating Yale from contention—who is going to put up the points that push the Bulldogs to key road victories down the stretch? 4. PENNDon’t be surprised if the Quakers just go out and win the thing again, although they will be understaffed. Penn’s best remaining player is Brian Grandieri, whose legs are of uneven length (true story). On top of Jaaber and Zoller, Penn skipper Glen...

But Housman, who finished with 18 points and four assists, managed just two free throws over the final 8:26 as the Crimson struggled to make...
...power lay in its simplicity. The Benders live on six tree-shaded acres along one of Kansas City's main thoroughfares, called State Line Road because it marks the boundary between Missouri and Kansas. Thousands of drivers pass their home each day. In the long stretch of grass between the road and their white rail fence, they placed flags to mark the rising toll of the war, with a hand-printed sign at each end of the field displaying the total. On Sunday, the signs said...
