Yet it is Messier's calamitous experience with the buzzy, fuzzy concept of convergence that has made him a player again.

Yet the Crimson knows all too well that doubling down low means leaving shooters open. Big Green sharpshooters Koren Schram and Kristen Craft combined for six three-pointers in Dartmouth’s upset in Cambridge, while Big Red guard Lauren Benson slipped in 15 points while all eyes were on Maduka in Harvard’s loss in Ithaca.“These are teams we’ve played and we know who they...
