Guy Pearce and Russel Crow turn in fine performances that give us two different approaches to policing, thinking first and hitting later, or vice versa.

Considering that the average margin of victory in second-round games was better than 14 points and the lowest seed in a second round game other than Harvard was a 12, the Crimson's effort was admirable at worst, superb at best...
