(10/31/17 10:04am)

The men’s soccer team had a challenging slate of games this past week, facing off against two formidable opponents in Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Chicago. The squad opened the week with a nail-biter, narrowly edging WashU in a riveting golden-goal victory in double-overtime. The team, however, could not keep its good fortunes going into its contest against University Athletic Association rival UChicago. In a tight match between the two postseason regulars, UChicago was able to pull out a victory over a Brandeis squad that continues to struggle against elite opponents.

This past weekend, the Brandeis men’s and women’s cross country teams travelled to Garrett Mountain in Woodland Park, New Jersey to participate in the 2017 University Athletic Association Championships, hosted by New York University.

The Warriors and Cavaliers have stunned NBA fans with sluggish starts to open the new season

(10/31/17 10:00am)

Going into this National Basketball Association season, there was much excitement and suspense. New acquisitions during the offseason had led to the creation of even more superteams, consolidating the NBA with even more elite teams. However, even though the buzz around the league was tangible, every basketball fan knew the ultimate truth; the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers would be meeting in the Finals come June. A little wrinkle in the plan has developed with both teams getting off to similarly sluggish starts, though.









The resurging prospect of NBA superteams is not new and makes the league enjoyable to watch

(10/24/17 10:00am)

On July 8, 2010, the entire basketball world was watching ESPN, where superstar free agent forward LeBron James was about to announce where he would spend the next chapter of his career. Instead of returning to his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers, James famously declared he would be taking his talents to South Beach, joining forces with guard Dwyane Wade and forward Chris Bosh in the hopes of bringing a title to the Miami Heat. James and Bosh each could have been paid more to play elsewhere, but they sacrificed some money in order to win a ring. This was the creation of the first modern superteam and it took the National Basketball Association by storm. Many argue that this new fad of creating superteams in order to win championships has “ruined” basketball. But how new is this phenomenon in reality?


Team finishes its week strong against Emory

(10/17/17 10:04am)

The men's soccer team continued its impressive season, splitting this weekend's games against two solid opponents from its conference. The No. 15 Judges dropped Friday’s game 1-0 to the University of Rochester before winning an exciting double-overtime marathon against Emory University on Sunday. This left the team with an impressive 10-3 record, good for second in the conference, and with four regular season games left, the squad looks to finish strong and march deep into the postseason. However, the Judges cannot afford to lose too many more matches. The team has the necessary unity, talent and depth to thrive as the temperature drops for playoffs, but it will need to maintain its winning ways for the remainder of the regular season. Sporadic losses will only hurt their chances as they will need to maintain consistency.
