When Megan O'Neill hit one of two free throws to put the Lions up four, Monti drove the length the court, and tried a lay-in, but she was off.

It's not that his writing was particularly scandalous. The problem, it seems, lay in the fact that he included both his plays and his poems in the same book. And why was that so surprising?

Harvard shot itself in the foot by constantly missing short lay-ups and jumpers.
