...from the charity stripe, pouring in 27 points in his best performance of the young season. Housman also contributed 15 points for Harvard, cutting through LIU’s alternating 2-3 zone and man-to-man defenses with his deceptive ability to get to the basket...
...strategy helped limit Harvard’s leading scorer to 11 points on only 3-of-8 shooting, but opened shots for secondary options like Unger and sophomore point guard Drew Housman. Housman routinely blew by sagging LIU defenders for open trips to the basket. He finished with 15 points on 6-of-10 from the field and 3-of-4 for the line and added three assists...

In the final seconds of overtime against UNH, he stole a Wildcats inbounds pass and took it the length of the court for the game-winning basket. Unless Colgate learned its lesson last year about the need to watch out for Harvard freshmen, Lin could surprise the Raiders and be the difference-maker again on Saturday. This will be the 19th meeting between the two teams. The Raiders lead the all-time series 12-6, but Harvard...
