...Wroblewski played key roles for the home team, combining for 31 points off the bench, as Wroblewski went an impressive five-of-six from beyond the arc.Despite junior Jeremy Lin scoring a mere 11 points, the Crimson offense had a few bright spots.

"Lieberman was Netanyahu's chief of staff when Bibi was Prime Minister," a veteran Likudnik told me. "He and Tzipi were also very close."
