...ball, get steals, push it up and find the shooters,” Amaker said of Braswell, who finished with eight points and five steals. “He’s been very effective in that role.”Flato would hit another three and Braswell another layup before intermission to extend to a 39-30 lead at the break.“In this league, if you get lackadaisical for just one second, they’ll make you pay, just like we saw tonight,” Pusar said.After Yale scored the first two buckets...

The Big Red then used the momentum from that stretch to really pull out in front. The Crimson got within four at 17-13, but another 7-0 run pushed the lead to 11. An Unger three-pointer made...

Budischak, after receiving a nice feed from Rollins, made a layup before coming up with a huge block on the other end of the floor. Tay pushed the ball up, and a no-look pass found Budischak again to put the Crimson up, 13-4.Budischak finished the game with 10 points, while Rollins and Tay had 14 each.Columbia, however, fought back...
