Years ago he would have given his left pinkie to be the 12th man on the Golden State Warriors' roster. That MobiTV's hoop team, now defunct, lost every game in the Emeryville league doesn't bode well for a career change. But Mikami, 36, isn't done with start-ups: he is diverting some of his earnings to create a winery within three years at his family's 15-acre vineyard of Zinfandel in Lodi, Calif. He's also taking viniculture classes at the University of California at Davis and planning a three-month sabbatical to get his hands...
...early going, Harvard would not hit a field goal for the remainder of the half, a stretch of almost 17 minutes and 14 attempts. Time after time down the court, the Crimson either turned the ball over or had a shot rim out of the hoop, as the Tigers used their methodical, motion-oriented offense to grind out a 21-12 halftime lead. The only thing that prevented that deficit from growing much larger was the uncharacteristically stingy Harvard defense, which held Princeton to only seven field goals on 30 percent shooting. After Tigers center Zach Finley dropped...
...That was around the time when, with the Crimson behind by 21, freshman guard Jeremy Lin checked into the game, and immediately ignited a stagnating Harvard offense with a bolt of energy.

For his next act, the freshman combo guard picked the pocket of Penn guard Kevin Egee in the open court...
...next possession and took an outlet pass from junior guard James Lambert in for a layup. He finished the run by scoring the way he put up most of his 33 points at Jadwin Gym: beating his man off the dribble and taking it to the hoop for a layup, which made it 27-23 Harvard. “With their defense switching in and out—kind of like a zone, kind of a man matchup look—Drew was able to get a lot of good isolation,” captain Jim Goffredo said...
...thought he didn’t play well.” McAndrew produced the game’s signature moment late in the second half in a play that demonstrated his superior athleticism. Swooping in from the left wing towards the basket, McAndrew hung in the air underneath the hoop to avoid Harris, and then executed a remarkably acrobatic reverse layup, flipping the ball through the hoop while being fouled. The conversion from the free-throw line gave Brown a 65-52 lead with 4:52 left, effectively sealing the victory for the Bears.—Staff writer Caleb...
