...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. Harvard started chipping away when the score was 19-12 with a clutch three pointer by freshman Oliver McNally followed by a layup from Lin.

Walsh, Dennis Zheng, and myself–sojourned with them. And while the Crimson basketball team suffered two defeats, we experienced the lavish lifestyle of the road.Well, sort of.Cruising to the tunes of T. Pain, Lil’ Wayne and the Goo Goo Dolls, our bro-some...
