...villainous lackey Fletcher (David Wenham) have consolidated a monopoly on the Australian beef industry just in time to win exclusive rights to feed Australian troops.Luckily for Lady Ashley, she’s got Wolverine—uh, I mean Hugh Jackman—on her side. He plays a rough-and-tumble Australian cattle drover who works for no man but himself and shirks responsibility.

Harvard overcame a rough 9-of-29 shooting performance in the first half and 17 turnovers against just nine assists by shutting Army down for several stretches in the second half, when the Black Knights were a measly 10-of-32 from the field. The Crimson also set a team record with 12 blocked shots...
