HALFTIME: No. 13 Michigan State leads Indiana, 45-37. An ugly defensive half from the Hoosiers, whose two primary post players will also have to ride out foul trouble after the intermission. #iubb

Indiana was looking great to make the NCAA Tournament two weeks ago. How quickly things change. #iubb

Ali Khamenei Is Dead, but Iran Is Not Yet Free His death closes one chapter of repression, but the Islamic Republic’s entrenched security, political, and economic power structure remains intact, and the fight for a truly free Iran is far from over. My Full Piece Here: bit.ly/46ukJEj

Northwestern owns Assembly Hall. Beyond embarrassing for #iubb

Why can’t Indiana basketball beat Northwestern like Indiana football can?

And now, only four points between West Ham and Spurs, the worst Spurs team I've seen play in the NLD since I watched my first aeons ago.

This made me tear up. Beautiful moment for the US Team.

A Jewish gold medal game winner!!! Kol Hakavod, Jack Hughes!! #USAHockey

Unreal stick save by Hellebuyck on Toews

What a photo

They’re not Zambonis if they’re not from Italy, they’re just sparkling ice rink resurfacing machines

Time to change the team name

McDavid not attempting an actual shot on a breakaway was a bold choice

Incredible penalty kill from the USA! Absolutely giving up the body for the team.

I need Auston Matthews to be the hero so bad. The Mexican Maple Leafs captain from Arizona beating Canada for the gold medal would heal me.

Outstanding intensity for 8am

What a period of hockey. US leads 1-0, and Jordan Binnington has made the saves he needs to make to keep it a one-goal game. Canada's skill advantage has had its moments, but the US teamwork and speed has been impressive, too. Great, great intensity.

An empty-netter for Joel Armia makes it 5-1 Finland, which will continue its remarkable run in the modern Olympic era. No country has won more medals in the era of NHL participation than the Finns, who also have a gold medal in Beijing to their credit.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.
