Suffice it to say that Seymore let it rain last night, lighting up the small Blue Devil court in New Britain by going 5-5 from downtown over the first thirteen minutes of Harvard’s improbable 72-65 victory over his squad...
...Grand Serail, an Ottoman-era palace that houses Lebanon's government, began its life as a garrison for Turkish soldiers. The buff limestone building was restored after this country's long civil war, and it still looms over downtown Beirut like a hilltop fortress, with its arabesque arches punctuating the fa?ade like so many cannon slits...

Junior forward Brad Unger, who had established a new career high with 13 points on 5-of-5 shooting in the first half, hit his only attempt of the second, a short bank shot. Goffredo followed with another make from downtown, and after a series of misses on each end, Housman finished off the seven-point Harvard spurt, driving right and hitting a runner off the glass. Housman was fouled on the play and added the free throw to put Harvard up 66-58 with 8:19 to play. LIU never...
