...catch-and-shoot” players—those who hang on the perimeter waiting for a kick-out from inside for the spot-up three. The style of play in the league has adjusted to accommodate this evolution, producing offenses like the motion-oriented, three-pointer-generating machine of Princeton, or the fast, guard-driven, up-and-down attack of Penn. Ivy teams generally employ small, mobile lineups that utilize the three position on the court as a third guard rather than a small forward, capitalizing on the opportunity to add another perimeter shooter to the lineup.Last year, Harvard...
...right place at the right time. He does the dirty work, boxes out, gets defensive boards. He plays hard and gets some easy baskets because of it.” Unger’s one basket that wasn’t a lay up was a three-pointer in the first half to give the Crimson a 20-17 lead. His ten points was one off his career high of eleven, which he dropped on Albany last year. The twelve points Lin and Unger combined for made up all the bench points.

During a day of chats just before the fifth anniversary of 9/11, ABC's Charles Gibson asked the President whether the nation's security would be harmed if Democrats carried the House this fall.

Parker uses the factory's fiery emission stack to get his bearings until, half veiled in shadow a few meters above the valley floor, he finds what he's looking for: the "climbing...
...more captivating than German import Nowitzki, 27. In one possession, he's likely to dribble down the court and stroke a long three-pointer (remember, he's 7 feet tall; those guys shouldn't shoot from far away). In the next, he'll fly by a smaller defender for a dunk (7-footers shouldn't be quick). His breakout post-season - Nowitzki is averaging 28.4 points and almost 12 rebounds per game, and scored 50 in a key Game 5 win against the Suns in the Western Conference finals - has earned him comparisons to a legend. "The guy he reminds...
