Brian Rowe | Calls the Shots

February 22

The San Francisco Giants, because they won last year and are primed for their young talent to continue to improve this year. No wait, the Red Sox because they had the biggest offseason, and Jon Lester will win the AL Cy Young. But what about the Yankees, who re−signed their captain and are a threat every year? The Phillies, and their J.D. Power and Associates Highest Rated Pitching Staff award? The Pirates and their … wait, never mind.

Women's Squash | Tufts ends season with Colby, Vassar upsets

February 22

For the women's squash team, a season full of close losses and shutouts was unsurprising given the inexperienced squad, whose starting nine consisted of just one senior and three rookie players, two of whom had barely picked up a squash racket before the season began.

Ice Hockey | Seniors close with split weekend

February 22

To finish off what has been an up−and−down and at times disappointing regular season, the ice hockey team went on a road trip to Vermont, where it faced conference foes St. Michael's and Norwich. Much like the rest of its season, Tufts' results were mixed: a 6−3 defeat to Norwich on Feb. 19 and a 5−3 victory over St. Michael's on Feb. 18, which left the team's final season record at 6−16−1.

Alex Prewitt | Live from Mudville

February 21

In "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" (2005), Steve Carell had continual trouble with putting the — ahem — feline on the pedestal. We, and by "we" I mean the collective masses of NBA fans and those teenage girls who mysteriously broke out the BlackBerrys to furiously vote throughout All-Star Weekend, are having a similar problem with Blake Griffin.

Women's Swimming and Diving | Third's a charm: Women's swim earns bronze at NESCACs

February 21

After the first five events at this weekend's NESCAC Tournament at Williams College, the women's swimming and diving team was in first place, ahead of both Amherst, which has finished in second place three years running, and the host Ephs, who have won every conference title since the NESCAC's inception. Yet toppling the two conference goliaths ultimately proved too tall an order for a Tufts team that had to be content, at least for now, with finishing third.

Jumbos look to avenge loss against Williams

February 17

As the NESCAC quarterfinals approach, the women's basketball team is looking ahead to its matchup in the 4 vs. 5 game with No. 22 Williams. Unfortunately, that means looking back over and over again at the game film of a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Ephs earlier in the year that came on a simply miraculous tip?in just before the buzzer.

Inside the NESCAC | For Lord Jeffs against NESCAC foes, it was a weekend to forget

February 16

Prior to tip-off inside Middlebury's Pepin Gym on Friday night, the undefeated Amherst men's basketball team may have been indulging fantasies of a perfect season. The Lord Jeffs seemed poised to sweep its two weekend games, which would have tied the school's all-time longest winning streak of 23 games, a mark set in 2007. Two wins would have also secured the No. 1 seed in the upcoming NESCAC Tournament.

Men's Basketball | Amauris Quezada's "controlled chaos" powers the Jumbos

February 16

"Just put my name in there with a pronunciation key and ask people never to call me ‘Q' again," Amauris (ä-mau-de) Quezada teased. Like everything he says, the remark, directed at a Tufts community — including its PA announcers in Cousens Gym — that repeatedly pronounces his name wrong, was laced with sarcasm.

David McIntyre | The Beautiful Game

February 16

From LeBron James taking his talents to South Beach to Babe Ruth getting bought by the Yankees, player acquisitions are some of the most talked-about items in sports. This is especially true in the soccer world, as teams have only one month in the middle of the season, January, to try to improve their teams for the rest of the year. Normally, though, the month is marked by restraint as a few major transfers trickle through and clubs get rid of various disgruntled players.

Women's Swimming and Diving | Bronze or bust: Jumbos strive for third place

February 16

The women's swimming and diving team has been preparing for this weekend since the beginning of the season. The tune-up meets in the fall, the conditioning trip during winter break, the tapered practices over the past two weeks: It all leads up to the season-ending NESCAC Championships, which start on Friday at Williams.

Inside the NHL | Islanders and Penguins duke it out

February 16

The idea of a fight in an NHL game shouldn't elicit much of a reaction to the casual observer. Most people probably carry an implicit association between the sport and on-ice fighting. The image of two toothless, black-eyed hockey goons swinging wildly at each other is indelibly seared in the minds of many casual sports fans.
