Seton Hall's style of basketball, more run-and-shoot than Northeastern's, should loosen up the game. And that should work to Harvard's advantage on offense. The Crimson's offensive strength lies in its fast break, and if the Pirates try to run with Harvard, the Crimson could blow them off the floor...
...small can reap big rewards. Ask the world champion New York Knickerbockers. No fewer than three of their starting five-Walt Frazier of Southern Illinois, Willis Reed of Grambling and Dick Barnett of Tennessee State-are N.A.l.A. alumni. They all sharpened their skills in the prostyle brand of run-and-shoot that is played in the N.A.l.A...

But now they are more of a thinking team-because Russell encourages them to be. "We're all invited to participate," says Guard Jones. "We help him keep track of team fouls and individual fouls. We keep our eyes open for switches the other team might make." Not that Russell necessarily accepts the advice...
