Brown maintains first in ECAC

|

New Hampshire The University of New Hampshire Wildcats are tied for fourth place in the ECAC standings, but their back-to-back non-conference losses to Minnesota over the weekend are sure to hurt them in the national polls. Last Saturday, the Golden Gophers used three power play goals and a short-handed goal to maintain an early 2-0 lead.

Perfectionists

Not since 1976, when the Indiana Hoosiers accomplished the feat, has a Division I college basketball team finished the season undefeated.

League favorites start strong

Women take lesson from Albany

|

A snowstorm was raging outside and there was no running water inside, but everyone in Leede Arena was focused on the drama being played out on centercourt. Going strictly by the numbers, Tuesday's game against the 5-12 Albany squad should have been easy for the 8-6 Big Green.

If I Had A Million Dollars

|

Tucked away in a corner of Cincinnati, a teenager flips on his stereo and presses play on the CD player and the disc whirls for a few seconds before the voices of the Barenaked Ladies fill the room. He sits down at the computer to begin loading and reloading a web site, hoping each time that Ken Griffey Jr.'s indelible smile will pop up adorned by the hat of the Big Red Machine.

Need A Title

|

A top-25 without North Carolina? No, I'm not talking about football. Basketball? That's right " for the first time since the 1990-91 season the Tar Heels have fallen out of the Associated Press Top-25 poll. As we pass the midpoint of our journey from Midnight Madness to the Final Four, North Carolina's demise is just one of many interesting stories to fill college basketball headlines. In fact, a number of players, teams, and coaches have performed uniquely enough to earn special recognition. Earning recognition as the Most Disappointing Team at the season's midway point is none other than North Carolina.

Hanks brings spirit to basketball

|

She slouched down in the chair and draped her leg over the side casually. Could this really be the same woman that had ripped Yale apart mercilessly for 13 points in the first half less than a week ago? In an age where extreme competitiveness drives athletes to compulsive gambling and fatal car crashes, one is surprised to see such an intense basketball player on the court such as Katherine "Kat" Hanks '03 display such an easy-going attitude as she did when she sat down for an interview last week. It's hard to believe that someone who in her spare time prefers "to do nothing" would play such an integral role on this year's women's basketball team. Though only a freshman, Hanks is the team's starting center and leads the team with 15.8 points per game and with 18 blocks, and is second on the team with 6.6 rebounds per game (6.6). What's really astonishing, however, is that she has never been known as a big scorer and she didn't even play center until she came to Dartmouth. "This is something totally new," Hanks said.
