Earning major decisions in his first three matches, the 157-pounder pulled out last-second 5-4 victories in the quarterfinals and semifinals against Jesse Dong of Virginia Tech and Chase Pami of Cal Poly. For the senior, the victory against Pami—ranked No. 2 in the country—was particularly rewarding...

The outsider, say Liljenquist and her co-authors, can be someone as subtly different as a member of the accounting department meeting with the sales team or an employee in the branch office visiting the headquarters.

In 26 minutes, the 6’7, 220-pounder scored a career-high 15 points—his first double-digit output in college—on a very efficient 7-of-10 shooting from the field. On the defensive end, he spent much of his time on the floor bodying up big Bryant, limiting his touches and scoring opportunities. The opposing big man scored 14 points, below his 19 points per game average...
