  • Memphis' "Double Ds": Joey Dorsey and Robert Dozier
The Memphis Tigers overcame horrendous free-throw shooting (7-17) and a tenacious Southern Cal triangle-and-two defense to defeat the Trojans in the Jimmy V Classic in Madison Square Garden, 62-58.

Robert Dozier led Memphis with 13 points and 8 rebounds, followed by Chris Douglas-Roberts with 10 points and 9 boards. Freshman sensation O.J.

  • A Modest Proposal for a New Holiday

    Why close schools, government offices, even banks(!) for a lousy baseball game? Because leisure, friends, is what Americans do. National Baseball Day would be a reminder that Americans work not to pay bills, but to play.
