...Goffredo would not score another field goal all night, finishing 1-of-11 from the field, and the Crimson would implode in the final 10 minutes as Yale pulled away for an easy 86-71 victory. As the lead grew, the New Haven crowd only grew more vicious, and Goffredo, the team leader struggling through one of the toughest games of his career, took the brunt of the insults. Shooting free throws in the second half, Goffredo received a chant of “worst game ever...

On every open shot he seemed to be pressing just a little bit more, with the same result.

...quick 9-0 lead, igniting the student section, Yale allowed the Crimson to reel off a 9-0 run of its own to tie it right back up, reminiscent of the game at John J. Lee two years ago when the Bulldogs used the energy of the crowd to go up 12-0 before Harvard clawed back. That game went down to the final possession, with Yale hanging on by one in a heartbreaking loss for the Crimson...
