63
Number of saves by goalie Scott Barchard against Saint Anselm last Saturday, which set the program's single-game record. The Jumbos were outshot 66-29 on the day, but Barchard made the difference, helping Tufts to a 4-3 overtime victory. Barchard's mark broke the previous record of 60, set by James Kalec in 2005. Last year, Barchard's .927 save percentage set Tufts' single-season record, and the sophomore's current mark stands at a NESCAC-leading .953.
21
Consecutive regular-season victories for the Indianapolis Colts, which tied the previous record set by the New England Patriots, who won 21 straight from 2006 to 2008. The Colts are 12-0 after their latest victory, a 27-17 win over the Tennessee Titans last weekend. Indianapolis will have a chance to set the new mark on Sunday at home in Lucas Oil Stadium against the 8-4 Denver Broncos.
+112
The scoring margin for the Tufts women's basketball team in the first half of games this year. The Jumbos scored 52 points in the first 20 minutes of their 80-71 win over Wheaton on Monday night, the most in any half since November, 2003. It was the sixth straight win for Tufts, which brought its season record to 6-1 as it heads to the Regis College Tournament next weekend in Weston, Mass.

Undefeated Football Bowl Subdivision teams that will not be playing for the BCS National Championship. Big East champions Cincinnati, Mountain West Conference top dog Texas Christian University and the Western Athletic Conference's Boise State all finished without a loss. But two other undefeated teams, SEC Champion Alabama and Big 12-champion Texas Longhorns, will square off for the trophy in January.
59.9
Points by which senior quad-captain Rob Matera won the 3-meter diving event at the 2009 MIT Invitational this weekend. Matera, who won the one-meter event by nearly 40 points, led Tufts to a second-place finish out of seven teams. Scores of 319.70 in the three-meter and 293.15 in the one-meter were both over the NCAA-qualifying standard for Matera. For his efforts, Matera was named the NESCAC Performer of the Week on Monday.
17
Games, out of 22, in which the Toronto Raptors have given up more than 100 points this season. Though the Raptors let up just 78 points in Saturday's win over the Chicago Bulls, by far their lowest total thus far, Toronto's defense has left something to be desired. The Raptors are the fourth-best scoring team in the NBA, but their abysmal defense has them at just 9-13, eight games back of first place in the Atlantic Division.
