...high-flyer, and we need that from him,” Amaker says. The bar has thus been raised for Lin, who averaged 4.8 points per game while shooting 41.5 percent from the floor last year and also knocked down an impressive 81.8 percent from the free-throw line. He also registered 70 rebounds and 28 steals last year. Lin will also be building on other, less quantifiable skills, such as awareness of his surroundings on the court and a high energy level. “Jeremy’s a pretty talented kid,” Amaker says...
...title.”The Crimson is returning a core of players, especially in a loaded backcourt. Senior co-captain Lindsay Hallion, a second-team All-Ivy performer last season after ranking second on the team in scoring and second in the league in both field-goal and free-throw percentage, returns to run the point. At shooting guard is junior Emily Tay, the team’s leading scorer last season with 12.9 points a game. She also led the team in assists and steals on her way to first-team All-Ivy honors.

The Crimson was dramatically out-rebounded, 50-19, had assists on only seven of its 19 baskets, and committed 19 turnovers.

Thickly mustachioed reserve forward Nedim Pajevic also hurt the Crimson with 16 points, many of them on short jumpers over Evan Harris. Harvard continued to display a knack for getting to the charity stripe—and for clanging free throws off the iron. The Crimson shot 16-of-26 from the line...
...Junior forward Evan Harris led Harvard with 14 points and six rebounds, and junior Drew Housman chipped in 10. The Crimson was dramatically out-rebounded, 50-19, had assists on only seven of its 19 baskets, and committed 19 turnovers. The team also had a miserable showing at the free-throw line, where it converted only 15 of 31 attempts. “They really pounded the backboard against us,” Amaker said. “I thought we were not very good in that area at all. I was pleased that we were able...
