The loss of its starting point guard and the subsequent internal animosity result in the Blazers finishing...
...joke to Coach Murphy and the Harvard fans. The undefeated season, the potential Ivy league championship, all rested in the hands of untested players. Visions of last year’s second-half implosions crept into the minds of the 10,000 fans assembled to see the game...
