Harvard’s most impressive performance of the season came in a losing effort as the squad rallied from a 43-27 halftime deficit at Notre Dame to pull even at 57, before falling 66-59. The Crimson followed up with another strong effort just eight days later, as it earned its first win of the season with an 85-75 win over Northeastern...
...Broadway's creative poverty? Let's just say that in an era of soaring costs and a dearth of new plays with any assurance of drawing an audience, it's a perfectly logical commercial development.
