...basket to the tune of 25 team fouls for New Hampshire. Every Wildcat player who saw action had at least two fouls, and leading scorer Blagoj Janev was limited to just 20 minutes and two points because of fouls. “The early foul trouble put a dent in their team,” said Sullivan. “They did a lot of mixing and matching lineups.” Harvard, which didn’t pick up its first team foul until there was 7:51 remaining in the first half, had just eight team fouls...
