Housman takes two dribbles, stops, pops, and nails a three right in the face of his opponent. It is a dagger, sending the Crimson to a narrow victory. For anyone watching the game last against New Hampshire, this sounds like an exact description of Housman’s big-time three that put the Crimson up for good last night en route to its 72-67 ousting of the Wildcats...
