“When I’m somewhere when I don’t want to be recognized and someone recognizes me, I have a couple standard lines I go to,” he said. “I usually always say, ‘Oh, no, that’s not me, but I guess I kind of look like him. I get that a lot.’ Or I say, ‘Theo Epstein? Who’s that?’
Baron Rothschild, the famed Jewish philanthropist, never showed up in Albany Park, where we lived. Nor the West Side, where Nathan and Maurice Goldblatt grew up sleeping in the same bed.

Strome scored on the power play and five-on-five in the first — his first multigoal game since March 3, 2020 — then added another power-play goal in the third to help ward off the Red Wings threat.

The Huskies rebounded from an abysmal second quarter in which they allowed a 21-2 DePaul run to go up seven early in the fourth, but DePaul clawed back to lead by two possessions late.

Ducharme, the Huskies’ more surprising freshman star, barreled to the basket for the win-sealing layup, and finished with a team-high 19 points.
