...seems stark. Tommy Franks, the Army general who as chief of Central Command scuttled Anthony Zinni's more robust war plan and agreed with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld that invasion-lite was the way to go, got the Presidential Medal of Freedom. So did former CIA chief George ("Slam Dunk") Tenet and L. Paul "Jerry" Bremer, who as Iraqi viceroy fired the entire Iraqi army, a move now widely seen as laying the groundwork for a sustained insurgency...
...career-high 33-point outburst the night before at Princeton. But Housman made his mark on the defensive end, holding reigning Ivy League Player of the Year Ibrahim Jaaber to nine points on 3-of-7 shooting. All three of Jaaber’s makes from the floor were dunks. But like Housman, Jaaber made his impact on defense, harassing Housman and picking up six steals to spearhead Penn’s 10 fast-break points.“For my money, Jaaber is one of the best kids to ever play in this league,” Sullivan said...
...forth affair on top. After Cornell had come all the way back from 41-27 down to take a 44-43 advantage with 11:15 to play, Harris scored six straight Crimson points to stem the Big Red tide.

But the fadeaway shot by the Ivy League leader in three-pointers bounced off the right side of the rim. A breakaway dunk by Harris after a steal by Housman gave Harvard a 63-58 lead with 2:16 remaining, but the home team would not score again until the final second. A jumper by forward Alex Tyler, a free throw by forward Andrew Naeve, and a jumper in the lane by Dale...
...points in the first eight minutes. He flashed a wide range of basketball skills, blocking the first Brown field-goal attempt of the game before showcasing his shooting range by nailing a three-pointer. He later scored two conventional three-point plays, one via an emphatic two-handed dunk, and added a jump shot, another block, and four rebounds in helping the Crimson build a 10-point lead.The solid all-around performance came a night after Cusworth scored a career-high 28 points in Harvard’s 88-78 loss to Yale. Perhaps the best back-to-back showings...
