Indian Prime Minister To Discuss Troubled Games

(CHICAGO) — For five days, the shouts of student protesters and supporters rang out from Northwestern University’s Deering Meadow as they joined demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war unfolding on college campuses nationwide. But the meadow on the suburban Chicago campus fell silent hours after student organizers and the school announced an agreement late Monday to curb protest activity in return for the reestablishment of an advisory committee on university investments and other commitments.

Lazarus of Bethany’s got nuttin’ on Alexandar Georgiev of Bulgaria. Tough times don’t last. Tough goalies do. “I think in Game 1, we didn’t give him a lot of chances to make quality saves,” Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson told me before Colorado and Georgie wiped out the Whiteoot in Winnipeg with a 6-3 victory late Tuesday.

At 73, the retired nurse and former Parliamentarian from St. Gallen is an avid climber, and on the day of the verdict, she was planning to hike the Grisons Alps.

After three seasons with the Colorado women’s basketball team, Tameiya Sadler is moving on. The senior guard has elected to put her name in the NCAA transfer portal with the intent of playing her bonus year, granted to all players from the 2020-21 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, elsewhere. A 5-foot-8 guard from Vallejo, Calif., Sadler played in 94 games, with 26 starts, during her three seasons with the Buffs.

The extra season of eligibility granted by the NCAA for the 2020-21 COVID season has unleashed a number of previously unforeseen opportunities upon the game of college basketball. Trevor Baskin’s story certainly is one of them. A gangly and overlooked recruit out of Pomona High School in Arvada four years ago, Baskin gradually played his way into one of the top players in the Division II Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference through his first three seasons at Colorado Mesa. Going into his senior season last fall, Baskin outlined a plan.
