In the game’s final seconds, however, it was a Lenny Collins miss that sealed the Crimson’s fate, as the Cornell senior forward’s winning bid from the left baseline hit off the side of the backboard and caromed right into the hands of forward Jason Hartford. Left uncontested beneath the basket, Hartford put back a shot that hovered on top of the rim for a split second before falling through the hoop, giving Cornell...
