...fingertips as Jaaber missed the second of his free throw attempts, leaving a loose ball with the Crimson trailing by just three, but Zoller corralled the rebound for Penn. The Quakers sank three more from the stripe to push the lead to six, before a meaningless three at the buzzer by senior swingman Michael Beal pulled the Crimson to within three...
...Tigers to a crucial 76-68 victory in Ithaca. For Penn and Princeton both, however, last weekend was not perfect, thanks to the lowly Lions of Columbia. The same Columbia squad that had one Ivy victory before last weekend shocked the top two teams in the league, sinking buzzer-beaters both times to defeat Princeton 65-64 and Penn 59-57. Although the Tigers and Quakers lost last weekend, their struggles are trivial compared to Harvard’s current three-week slide. “The first two games were buzzer-beaters,” said head coach Frank...
From the opening tip, it was apparent that the Harvard men’s basketball team was still affected by its recent three-game slide, which included buzzer-beater losses to Cornell and Princeton.

But while the outcome was the same on Friday, the action leading up to it was entirely different. Harvard trailed almost all night, making a furious charge in the waning minutes to put the pressure on the Bears...

The road trip to Penn and Princeton still looms, but anything less than 5-1 down the stretch would be a disappointment.Dartmouth—Laughing? Come talk to me when the Big Green takes four of its last...
