have plenty on the actual basketball events of the weekend in Monday's DP, but here's a look at what else you missed if you couldn't make it to the Palestra this weekend.

Play of the weekend: A much tougher play than most people realize turned in by Ibrahim Jaaber.

In the second half against Cornell, Jaaber threw an inbounds pass off Andrew Naeve's back, caught it and went up for an easy deuce as Naeve and the rest of the Big Red tried to figure out exactly what happened.

The key to that play, though, if you have alert officials, is that Jaaber had to establish both of his feet completely inbounds before he could touch the ball again. So if the striped ones were on their game, kudos to Ibby for the footwork on that one.

Yiddish lesson: The strangest rollout of the weekend was two words, the more difficult one spelled right and the easier one spelled wrong.

Nwachukwu... Gazoontite!

My bubbe wouldn't like that one. It's always been Gesundheit in our house. And in reality.

The main event: Finally to everybody's favorite event, the sorority tug-of-war, won by Chi Omega.

X-Horseshoe goes back-to-back with a truly epic win over Alpha Chi Omega in the finals. Sans-A got an early lead, and A-plus battled back, but in the end Chi-O and their tryout-approved roster prevailed.

Meanwhile, the story of the day was the ladies of Tri-Delt, whose newest pledges didn't Tri very hard at all. As soon as Rich Kahn gave the signal, the freshwomen just dropped the rope and went down faster than...

Probably shouldn't go there.
