He flashed national rankings for freedom of expression on a giant screen: in one survey, Italy placed 77th, sandwiched between Bulgaria and Mongolia. Given Italy's sluggish economy, Berlusconi's bickering center-right coalition and his steady fall in the polls ahead of an April re-election bid, Celentano's show is the last thing the Prime Minister needs.

Harvard registered just a single attack error the entire game, hitting .361 while the Quakers hit at only a .098 rate. Penn bounced back from a sluggish second frame, taking a 12-8 lead and forcing a Harvard timeout. Although the Crimson rallied to within a point at 29-28, the Quakers posted a kill to clinch the third game.
