Scott Howard vs. Teen Wolf or Steve Nash vs. ‘Nique Wilkins
by Alex Koenig The debate over Teen Wolf is at bottom a debate over the soul of basketball, and that’s one reason even people who are not Bill Simmons talk about the movie today. Let’s just state the question plainly. Who, … Continue reading →

Back to Back Blues? The Effect of Road Trips in the Ivy League
By John Ezekowitz Basketball coaches do not universally agree on much, but I think there are two things they would all agree on: if given the choice, they would rather play at home, and would rather play with more rest. … Continue reading →
