...senior Tim Clifford and 6’9 junior Alex Vander Baan. Clifford finished with a game-high 22 points, matching his total from the Crusaders’ 82-69 win at Lavietes Pavilion last November.

He finished with 18. “I thought there played exceptionally well upfront, and inside-and-out,” Crimson coach Tommy Amaker said. “And their big guy [Clifford], is just that...
