...crushed any hopes of achieving Harvard’s first conference title. The Crimson’s most notable win came during the tough pre-Ivy schedule in a game in which current Harvard coach Tommy Amaker faced off against his former squad. The resounding 62-51 victory over Michigan in front of a packed Lavietes Pavilion was a huge morale boost for Harvard.

If the delegates had been meted out based strictly on the actual vote Clinton should've gotten...
...Instead, she may try another argument-that by making the race so close, she's earned the right to be Obama's running mate. No sooner had this weekend's battles of Michigan, Florida and Puerto Rico come to an end than whispers began to trickle in once more that Clinton will continue to try to pile up marginal delegates to compel Obama to consider her for the number two spot.
