...threes in the final minute of regulation to tie the score. But in the upset Boston College in January, he played just 14 minutes and in the first three Ivy League games, he played only 37 combined minutes while contributing a total of 11 points.That all seems like ancient history now as Ancient Eight play has rolled on; Housman has played at least 30 minutes in the past seven games and has rarely stepped off the court in the second half of matches.After averaging double figures in scoring for each of his first three seasons, his numbers are down...
...wonder that travelers are fast discovering this city. During the day, the temperature hovers at an eternal 88°F, and the heat rises languidly off the cobblestone streets.

Freshman forward Keith Wright finished with 14 points, six rebounds, and four blocks; senior forward Andrew Pusar scored nine points and corralled seven boards; and senior forward Evan Harris tallied six rebounds and two blocks, including an emphatic swat late in the second...
...Harvard women’s swimming and diving team soaked its competition at the Nassau City Aquatics Center in New York this past weekend to win its ninth Ivy League Championship title. The Crimson triumphed over the three-time reigning Ancient Eight victor, Princeton, by a decisive margin of 249.5 points. Overall, Harvard finished with 1583.5 points, six event championships, ten school records, and eleven NCAA Championship provisional qualifying times. “I think that they came together as a team.” Crimson coach Stephanie Morawski said. “Not only did we secure wins...
