Kevdog's Ballers has most of its eggs in one basket: the blue and white one marked Yale. Reyes' team has relied on the contributions of the upstart Bulldogs' three best players--swingmen Casey Hughes and Caleb Holmes and speedy junior guard Eric Flato--to challenge for the league lead. That trio is aided by the Big Red's outstanding freshman Ryan Wittman, who leads the Ancient Eight in three-point conversions, and Brown guard Marcus Becker, with solid Princeton forward Luke Owings on reserve as insurance or possible trade bait...
...game in a 90-70 loss to the Lions, Crimson sophomore forward Evan Harris came up with a performance that turned the tables on the Big Red (11-9, 4-2 Ivy). Harris finished with game highs of 18 points and 10 rebounds, and scored the winning basket on a layup off a pretty feed from point guard Drew Housman on the team’s final possession. Harris’s last two points put Harvard up 65-64 with eight tenths of a second to play, giving the Crimson (10-10, 3-3) a thrilling home victory...
...answering salvo and never got closer than 15 points the rest of the evening. Columbia closed the half with a 9-2 spurt to take a 54-28 lead into the break, then began the second period as it had the first, scoring the first six points on interior baskets from forwards John Baumann and Ben Nwachukwu to take a 32-point lead at 60-28. Whether due to the full moon over Cambridge or an exceedingly porous Harvard defense, Columbia seemingly could not miss, especially from long distance. The Lions shot 13-of-23 from three-point range...
...provided many of those quality points, as he scored 10 in the final seven minutes.Freshman guard Jeremy Lin scored all of his career-high 12 points after halftime, including 10 straight midway through the half to give Harvard a 51-49 lead with 10:06 remaining. The teams traded baskets after that until junior forward Brad Unger, who had ten points and a career-high seven rebounds, put back sophomore point guard Drew Housman’s miss with 5:29 remaining. Lin added two free throws on the Crimson’s next possession, but Big Green sophomore forward...
...example for Lin, righting Harvard’s ship by penetrating and dishing to forward Brad Unger to snap a seven point Big Green run. Possibly inspired, possibly emboldened, Lin immediately took charge. After collecting the next rebound, Lin took the rock coast to coast, drove hard to the basket through heavy traffic, drew the foul, and still maintained enough composure to lay in a floater from six feet out. Though he missed the ensuing free throw, Lin kept his cool, snagging the carom and quickly dropping in another smooth layup to pull the Crimson even with Dartmouth...
