After falling behind 3-0 to open the game, Harvard quickly got a lead and never let it go again. With the help of its strong presence in the paint, the Crimson shot 60.7 percent from the field in first half.

In short, what it might have been like if it valued more what Rockwell did. Given the essential places where painting had to go, places where Rockwell couldn't follow, maybe art had to put those things aside. But his best pictures...
