...Friday night at Lavietes Pavilion, Noah Savage burned the latest chapter of Harvard’s painful history with the Tigers in the minds of the Crimson faithful, burying a last-second baseline jumper to give Princeton a 60-59 victory. The shot completed the Tigers’ comeback from a six point final minute deficit, and handed a devastated Harvard team its second straight loss on the game’s final play...
...might not have been such a terrible thing for someone battling the flu, Stehle went all but two in the second. Just over five minutes after the intermission, Stehle stole the ball from Columbia guard K.J. Matsui and took the ball the other way for a layup. His baseline jumper less than a minute later gave the Crimson a two-point lead.After Lions guard Justin Armstrong drained a trifecta to reclaim the lead for Columbia, Stehle answered with a hard-fought layup to pull Harvard even at 49, and the Crimson would never trail the rest...

...Hayes,” said Harvard head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith. “I thought that was too easy a shot for her. We should have contained, we should have made her shoot over us, and [the shot] should have been from further out.” The jumper gave the Bears (9-8, 3-1 Ivy) a 64-62 victory and rendered obsolete the fierce comeback that Harvard (5-11, 1-2 Ivy) had made in the final five minutes. On the scripted inbounds play, Hayes was the only Brown player who ever crossed halfcourt...
