...Olympic torch had been lit by a sparkling blaze that circled the stage and then raced up six support tubes to the cauldron, which at 187 feet is the tallest in the history of the games. It looked as if the opening ceremonies for the XX Olympic Winter Games were over. Shivering audience members started filing out, still wearing the white ponchos that had been placed on each seat with the aim of evoking an icy wonderland on television, since Torino has been unseasonably warm and there is no real snow in town.

Freshman forward Katie Rollins returned from her own recent injury woes to help Harvard with 10 points against Colgate on Monday, and 6’7 freshman Emma Moretzsohn, the Ivies’ tallest player, keyed 22 points in a loss to Big East opponent Providence on Dec. 21. Delaney-Smith’s hand has been forced to give the underclassmen big minutes due to a combination of team underperformance and, more damningly, a spate of crushing injuries.
