...getting offensive boards. Also, he's balding. 15:15: Guess what? Harvard turnover. Six turnovers in five minutes. Make that seven, with a poor pass from Magnerelli. 14:00: Housman ends 11-1 Sader run with a runner. 15-7. Then he takes it to the hoop and gets foul. He is pissed and playing well as a result. 13:30: Lin misses open three. Harris drops in a leaning off balance bucket. Harvard only down 15-9. Still no settling in the game pace, though.

And there's the nail in the coffin. Layup over Harris, foul, he's out, 74-65, 1:20 to play. Comeback over. Game over. The story of this game will be from 62-62, the Crimson got nothing, being outscored 14-3 down the stretch. This is a young team who put up a great effort though, although this one especially hurts...
...quarter: Harvard, meanwhile, goes three-and-out after Ho is stopped just short. Hull's punt is another great one, downed at the 6, and Yale captain Brandt Hollander picks up a personal foul penalty that pushes the Bulldogs back even further...
