...ones may be the cause of the moment. But French ambivalence about a changing world is nothing new. In the 1950s, French novelist Pierre Daninos suggested it was part of the national psyche to battle gallantly - if often fruitlessly - against invasion, as national treasures such as Joan of Arc once did. By that measure, the French in the streets last week were fighting to hold back the inexorable challenge of international competition. "It's pure negativism, and that's typical of today's France," says Ezra Suleiman, professor of European studies at Princeton. "No one is suggesting what should...
...rotation schemes on a couple of occasions, which led to some threes.” Cornell made 8-of-12 three pointers in the first half and was 11-for-23 for the game. Freshmen Adam Gore and Brian Keefer each hit four threes, several from well beyond the arc, and finished as the high scorers for the game with 16 and 14 points, respectively. Harvard, by contrast, made only 3-of-18 of its three-point attempts and shot only 28 percent from the floor for the game. Adding to the Crimson’s problems offensively were turnovers...
...Talent is thrown out the window. We’re not playing for a playoff, and for that I feel bad for all our guys.

REVERSAL OF FORTUNES Getting back in the win column coincided for the Crimson with a significant improvement from beyond the arc. The team struggled badly during the losing streak with both hitting and defending the three-point shot, but on Saturday night accomplished both tasks, going 8-of-20 from behind the line and holding Columbia to 6-of-24 shooting. Besides Martin’s two threes and another from...
...help Harvard overcome its characteristic first-half doldrums, which plagued the team in Friday night’s game at Cornell. Instead, Tay and Rollins combined for 15 of Harvard’s first 17 points to help neutralize Columbia’s 50-percent shooting from beyond the arc. A last-second three pointer by the Lions’ Michelle Gage, who finished with 22 points on the night, gave Columbia a 39-38 cushion at the break. That would be the last the Lions would see of the lead for the rest of the night. Rollins...
