Following a free throw by senior forward Evan Harris and an Army layup, Lin knocked down two free throws and the Crimson defense forced an opponent miss. Harris fought for a loose ball...
...lopsided margins to No. 21 Old Dominion, No. 24 Virginia, and No. 5 Missouri in Troy, N.Y.“We wrestled against some [teams] ranked very high,” junior co-captain J.P.
