As we leave the highway far behind, the villages grow visibly poorer; a rare stretch of paved road is announced by a sign bearing the President's face and the slogan GLORIA CARES. In many villages, government troops are dug in behind sandbags and razor wire. Three hours later, we transfer to trail bikes and roar along deserted tracks to a semi-derelict logging shack.

The Crimson’s defense, which held Vermont to 1-of-5 shooting in overtime, dug in on the perimeter. Several defenders pushed out to the arc to pressure Trimboli as he attempted an opening. Driving to his left around the pressure, the sophomore point guard lost the handle, one of his six turnovers on the game and a season-high 28 by Vermont overall. The ball...
