While Clayton struggled in Tulsa, six of his teammates faced spirited Midwestern competition on newly-surfaced courts at Notre Dame. “There’s a terrific level of intensity when you play Big Ten schools,” Harvard coach Dave Fish ’72 said of the opposition, which included Notre Dame, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Western Michigan, and Ball State...
