...largely held in check in the second half thanks to more consistent defensive pressure in the form of double-teams. And when Yale clamped down on the big man, no one else was able to step up for Harvard to carry the team back into the game. Bulldogs guard Casey Hughes, in addition to scoring 16 points on 8-of-10 shooting, shut down Crimson captain Jim Goffredo with stifling defensive pressure, holding the shooting guard to nine points on 3-of-10 shooting.

Later, Casey seemed to back away from that position. "I don't think he's lied to us, but I think Bill Casey is famous for instructing his subordinates and his colleagues to tell us everything they think we should know," said Committee Chairman David Durenberger with more than a hint of sarcasm. Charges continued to fly that Casey was fully aware...
