Men's Squash | Men's squash ekes past Northeastern, bashes BC

The No. 26 ranked men's squash team could not have picked a better time to get hot.

Many expected the New York Knicks to eventually pick up their level of play after a devastating 8-15 start to the lockout-shortened NBA season. Yet no one believed the Knicks' guardian angel would come in the form of an undrafted, gawky, Asian-American Harvard grad with an atypical jump shot.

Inside the NBA | Runaway rookies excelling in first professional seasons

Due to the lockout-shortened NBA season, the overall competition of the league has been in a frenzy, and — save for the Bulls and the Thunder — no team in either conference has emerged as a dominant force. The Rookie of the Year race, however, has two runaway frontrunners: Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Ricky Rubio of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rest of the league's first-year players?

Alpine Skiing | Men's and women's ski teams head toward Regionals

With the unseasonably warm winter continuing in the Boston area, the minds of most Tufts students are probably far from snow sports and more focused on the possibility of June weather in March.

Alex Arthur | King Arthur's Court

Now that the Super Bowl is over and the offseason has officially begun, the focus shifts from one Manning to the other. Until a conclusion is reached on Peyton Manning's future with the Indianapolis Colts, or a Vick/Roethlisbergian-type incident occurs, the narrative of the football world will not change. The facts in the case are abundantly clear: Manning is due a 28 million roster bonus on March 8, the Colts have the No. 1 pick in the draft, and they will most likely select Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck.
