Mens Hoops rally to defeat Holy Cross

By Ian Quillen | January 26

After starting the first game of the year back in November against Maryland, AU junior forward Matej Cresnik was demoted to the role of first, second or third player off the bench. But this weekend, head coach Jeff Jones gave Cresnik two more starts, against Holy Cross on Sunday and Colgate last Friday. The Slovenian responded, shooting a combined 13-of-17 in those games to lead AU Men's Basketball to two nail-biting road wins - a 62-59 victory at Holy Cross and a 74-71 win at Colgate. Cresnik scored 15 against the Crusaders and 17 against the Raiders.

Gore should not try to be king-maker

By Daniel Cohen | January 26

Guest columnist Daniel Cohen: "On that winter day in Harlem, Al Gore extended his plan in blessing to Howard Dean. It's almost like a fairy tale. Don't be fooled, my fellow dems.
