...Harvard men’s basketball team faces a tall challenge as it prepares for its first set of games without senior seven-foot senior Brian Cusworth...
...fedora to a job that merely requested jeans and a collar. I had a joint bank account and dental insurance. Yet, on any given day, if you'd asked me about my greatest accomplishment, it invariably began with my second life-the one in which I was a seven-foot blue elf whose hobbies included firing crossbows, trapping wild boars and reenacting the video for Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean."

...last year where we were losing at the buzzer,” said senior captain and shooting guard Jim Goffredo. “This early in the season, to be able to gut a game like that out on the road is big for us.” The seven-foot Cusworth finished the victory over UNH with a double-double, scoring a team-high 23 points, one short of his season-high, and also leading the team in rebounds with 10. The senior center backed up his strong performance against the Wildcats with another solid outing on Saturday...

Those situations have come infrequently in the latest stretch, however, as the center has drifted more towards the perimeter...
