Vince Marriott: It's no secret at this point Jeremy Lin's got game. The previously unheralded Harvard alumnus has run circles around his opponents since taking over the starting point guard position for the New York Knicks on Feb. 6 against the Utah Jazz. He scored 89 points over his first three career starts, the most by any player since the merger between the ABA and the NBA in 1976. Not only is he a good individual performer, he wins games as well as the Knicks are 5-0 since he began to see significant playing time on Feb. 4 against the New Jersey Nets. On Tuesday, Lin and the Knicks are set for another test against the Toronto Raptors. While the Raptors haven't been anything special this year, New York can't afford many more losses, so it's a big game in its own right. (Tuesday, 7 p.m., MSG).

It's happening again. American sports fans have fallen for another athlete. Tim Tebow took over the sporting world at the tail end of 2011, but 2012 has brought about a new phenomenon. Tebow always had the hype and his performances proved the doubters wrong, but he was still a first-round draft pick. This time around, the flavor of the month came out of nowhere. The sports story of the year comes from our own Ivy League wolfpack: Harvard University graduate, and now NBA legend, Jeremy Lin.

Vince Marriott: Now that football season has drawn to an end and playoff races are starting to heat up, hockey can finally get some attention. Even if hockey is the forgotten step-child of the major sports, the Philadelphia Flyers have continued to prove they are worth watching, consistently showing they are among the best of the best. On Thursday, they will play host to a strong opponent in the Toronto Maple Leafs, a team looking to climb up the conference standings in anticipation of a deep playoff run. Couple this with the Flyers' need to sharpen their skills in anticipation of a high seed and you've got a quality game, especially for a Thursday night. Celebrate Winter Carnival the right way grab a beer (or two) and check out some good hockey before making the frat rounds. (Thursday at 7 p.m., NHLN).

Winter Carnival has crept up on everyone at Dartmouth and I'm sure many are surprised that it is actually February. The lack of snow has students on campus confused as to how the biggest weekend of Winter term will occur if there is no snow in which to make snow angels. If it weren't for the frigid temperatures and lifeless trees, you would have no idea that we're in the middle of the season we refer to as "winter." The skies are clear, and everyone is fairly happy without the need for happy lamps it almost feels like spring has arrived in Hanover. That being said, I'm certain I have now jinxed all of us, and I wouldn't be shocked to see a snowfall of epic proportions in the upcoming days.

A neck-and-neck battle of the freshmen was the highlight of the afternoon as the No. 8 Dartmouth women's squash team fell 5-4 to No. 7 Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. on Saturday. The Big Green men also fell to the Big Red, losing 8-1. The Big Green's Oona Morris '15 fought fellow freshman Rachel Au through five grueling games before triumphing 12-10 and 11-8 in the fourth and fifth games to take the match. With just one spot separating the schools in the national rankings, a close match was expected, and the teams delivered, with three of the nine contests going the maximum five games.

The urgency in the air was palpable as John Golden '15 missed on a shot as the buzzer sounded to give Columbia the win and deny the Big Green's hopes of winning their first Ivy League game.

There won't be many useless stories this year, though, because Sunday's Patriots-Giants showdown is the perfect Hollywood ending for this season.
