And, as it turned out, that same coach prepared to offer Markley another chance at playing college basketball.Harvard coach Kathy Delaney-Smith had taken an initial interest in Markley, but Princeton had beaten her to the punch and gotten the forward’s attention very early on in the recruiting process. Nearly two years later, Delaney-Smith expressed interest once again—this time, in different terms.“A lot of people didn’t understand, but when I talked to Kathy...
...with 20 points. He supplemented that total with 12 boards, including four offensive rebounds.

The real success in this method of punchy writing is Ellen, whose inexhaustible supply of sarcastic retorts only makes her helplessness starker and ultimately moving.Beane...
...making some tough ones at the end of some of the possessions, kind of back-breaking shots, deflating shots for us, and I think very uplifting shots for them,” Amaker said.NOT THEIR HOUS’After being touted as the Crimson’s one-two punch coming into the season, Harris and junior guard Drew Housman have been seeing limited minutes.Neither player started on Saturday night, and the two combined for just 21 minutes and five points—all scored by Housman in the first half.Especially for the guard, this was a far cry from...
