...which one to go with. Last night, on its home court, Holy Cross went with size and Harvard countered with speed. The result was an 80-69 victory for the Crusaders at the Hart Center.Pounding the ball down low with 6’11” center Tim Clifford and 6’9” forward Alex Vander Baan, Holy Cross (4-0) was able to dominate the interior frontcourt, which proved to be the difference in the game.The height advantage was evident inside with the Crusaders’ 33-23 rebounding edge, including 15 offensive rebounds against...
...with my best friend and sports comper Troy "the Murder" Murrell), bringing you, the Harvard fan, the best coverage we can muster as your Harvard Crimson (2-2) take on the undefeated Holy Cross Saders. Holy Cross definitely has the size advantage on the Crimson, with 6-11 Tim Clifford leading the way. Clifford dropped 22 on the Crimson in a 13-point win for the Saders last season. Jim Goffredo '07 and junior point guard Drew Housman combined for 35 in that losing effort. So it will be speed v. size tonight, and the Crimson are going to hope...
...very tough test for the Crimson. 8:00: Amaker in the turtle neck. He pulls it off--barely. Kind of goofy, though. Okay, see how many times I can reference the "neck," as I'll deem it. Deftly, of course. 8:02: Pat Magnerelli (barely 6'9) v. Tim Clifford (pushing 7'0): Big, big, BIG mismatch. 19:18 (I'm going game time): Harvard forces turnover, tied at 2-2. 19:02: Harris walks. Turnover. 18:35: Harris pounds it in on the blocks. Gets the roll for 4-4 tie. 18:21: Magnerelli bats it out, good defense...
SECOND HALF 19:30: Crimson comes out firing with a three from Housman, but Clifford counters with a jay from the top of the key, his first shot made outside the paint all night. 44-35 18:30: Harris almost goes off on the refs for traveling call after he coralled a great block on the other end. It's up and down for Harris tonight. 18:00: Great cut from Pusar backdoor for his first bucket, nine point lead, 46-37. 17:20: Lin can't buy a three, although that's his third open chance of the night...
...Down 7 now, Clifford with 22. 1:50: Harris misses layup, but Mags battles for ball. Crimson ball, 72-65. 1:30: Housman misses his first shot all night. It's all but over now. And there's the nail in the coffin. Layup over Harris, foul, he's out, 74-65, 1:20 to play. Comeback over. Game over. The story of this game will be from 62-62, the Crimson got nothing, being outscored 14-3 down the stretch. This is a young team who put up a great effort though, although this one especially hurts...
