...Thanks to captain Andrew Pusar’s injury early in the game, guard McNally was called upon early and often, and he stepped up to the challenge. McNally’s shooting was especially crucial in the opening frame—his ten first-half points leading both squads—and he was rewarded with the second-half start. McNally’s 33 minutes of action was the most he has seen all season...
...taking the win in front of a near-capacity crowd. The Big Red started out the game strong, racing to an 8-2 lead. But an emphatic dunk by Wright in the 16th minute signaled to Cornell that the Crimson wasn’t going to repeat its lackluster first-half performance in Ithaca two weeks ago.

But it was the 16 first-half turnovers in Saturday’s game that spelled disaster for Harvard. The Lions’ stifling full-court pressure forced sloppy play from Crimson guards and post players alike. Harvard’s porous fast-break defense didn’t help its cause, as Columbia was able to convert...
