...favorite haunt of pivot men who relish playing with their backs to the basket. When Cusworth gets the ball near the hoop and utilizes his seven-foot frame and array of offensive moves, he can dominate opposing defenders, as he did on a spin move leading to a reverse layup that netted two of his 11 points in the Cornell game. Those situations have come infrequently in the latest stretch, however, as the center has drifted more towards the perimeter. After the loss to the Bulldogs, in which two of Cusworth’s five field goals were from beyond...
After Princeton (6-12, 4-1) guard Edwin Buffmire snaked through the lane for a layup with 55 seconds to play, Harvard freshman point guard Drew Housman, facing withering full-court pressure, attempted to toss a long pass to Cusworth, who was already past half court. Cusworth leaped high in the air, but a collision with two Princeton players knocked the ball to Tigers’ forward Kyle Koncz...
...injury. In her first eight collegiate games, Rollins has hit double figures five times and thrice led the Crimson in scoring. Against Dartmouth—Morrison is out for the year with a torn ligament in her foot—Rollins was practically unstoppable, pivoting gracefully and tossing in layup after layup over the smaller Sydney Scott.

Housman scooped up the loose ball and raced down the floor, finishing the layup while absorbing a Kravic foul. After Columbia center Ben Nwachukwu pulled down an offensive board and scored the putback to pull within four, Harvard put together a 10-2 run to grab a 69-57 lead, its largest of the contest, with 1:08 left. Housman went...
...Cusworth missed a number of finishes from close range, while junior guard Jim Goffredo and senior swingman Zach Martin tried unsuccessfully to connect from behind the arc.The Lions took advantage of Stehle’s absence by picking eight early points in the paint on two hooks and two layups. Columbia built a 14-6 lead heading into the second media timeout, forcing Harvard coach Frank Sullivan to bring Stehle back into the contest.“I think [Coach Sullivan] was just like, ‘If this is how we’re going to lose, this...
