...territory tonight in what promises to be a stiff non-conference test for a Harvard squad still trying to find its way. While the Crimson only has one win to its name, Wisconsin (10-2) has already reeled off ten wins and is a perfect 7-0 at the Kohl Center this season. A win in Madison would give the Crimson, which has struggled to put together 40 solid minutes in its early non-conference games, some much-needed momentum.

Suzanne O'Callahan, 35, a mother of four and a regular Kohl's shopper, certainly agrees. "I just walked through Macy's and didn't find anything, but I've been here for about an hour already," she said, her arms full of clothes, on a recent afternoon at the new Jersey City store.
