Harvard fought back gamely. Jeff Grate and Charlie McMonaugle sank foul shots, and Sedlacek swished a jumper from the corner. Gene Dressier stole the ball and hit a short jump shot, then connected a on 20-footer moments later. Jim Griswald's shot from the corner put the Crimson ahead 75-72 with 6:05 to play...
