...season, elite coaches fail to make a move that any barstool Bobby Knight would surely recommend (and will surely scream at the TV). With your team up three points, and just a few seconds left in the game, the opponent needs a long-distance three-point shot to tie it up. So, it would stand to reason, you should prevent the other player from taking that potentially heart-breaking heave by fouling him before he has a chance to shoot the ball. In the college game, that usually sends the opponent to the line, forcing him to make the first...
...last year's Sweet Sixteen, Washington had a three-point lead against UConn with eight seconds left to play. Rather than send a UConn player to the line, Washington let Rashad Anderson hit a three-pointer with 1.8 seconds left to tie it. UConn won in overtime. And on it goes.

But, as was the case with its previous two losses, Harvard began to fade as halftime approached. Just 11 seconds after Curtis’ tally, Robyn Pastuch scored the first of five consecutive UConn goals to regained the lead. The Huskies went into halftime with a comfortable...

Giuliani's lead is as much as 19 points over onetime front runner McCain. But neither Republican manages better than a statistical tie in a hypothetical matchup against the two leading Democrats, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama...
