Unfortunately for WashU, their magic ran out on Friday, March 8, when the Bears faced off against the No. 13 Trine University Thunder in the third round of the tournament. The Thunder dominated the whole way, ending the Bears season with an 86-65 loss.

Oliff stayed confident, like the Bears have all year in clutch situations, and sank both shots to give the Bears a 68-67 lead that they would not relinquish.

When “Dookie” catapulted Green Day to fame back in 1994, the band became synonymous with frenetic pop-punk songs about teenage angst and substance abuse. Six albums and nearly 20 years later, Green Day’s latest release, “¡Uno!,” makes it clear that Billie Joe Armstrong and co. are still just reckless 20-somethings at heart—for better or for worse.
