You know those slow starts we’ve seen from Duke this season? Didn’t happen at Stanford as Duke started hot and won, 80-50. Duke’s size and talent presented huge problems for the Cardinal, especially in the first half. Dame Sarr threw a blanket over precocious freshman Ebuka Okorie, limiting him to 7 points before the break. […]

With the news made official today that the Flyers have placed defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen on Injured Reserve with an upper-body injury, and his timeline for return remaining a bit murky, the decision was made to bring up some reinforcements from the AHL, as their current mix on defense hasn’t really been cutting it. In the corresponding move to Ristolainen’s IR placement, the Flyers announced Saturday evening that they’ve recalled Hunter McDonald from the Phantoms. And the choice to rec...
