...Enter Sydney Fife (Segel), a large, louche fellow with no discernable means of income but with a self-confidence that Peter is on the way to understanding he totally lacks. For purposes of plot, this odd couple clicks, and they start hanging out together at Sidney's Pacific pad.

Harvard is 2-6 and St. John's is 0-2. Emily Tay has been her baller self, but she's giving the rock up too much (five turnovers). Berry is 2-2 from the field, but hasn't really been a big factor...
