Talent-wise, this game looks like no contest. Yet despite Penn’s superior athleticism, Harvard hung with the league leaders for most of the matchup at the Palestra before the Quakers pulled away late. The Crimson shut down Penn’s three-point shooting attack in that game, but was overwhelmed inside. If the interior defense for the home team can improve, and if the big men stay out of foul trouble, Harvard will have a fighting chance. Yet the Quakers still have too much talent and will take it by five...
...third straight road game. With Brown up 32-29 in the first minute of the second half, a three-pointer by team leading scorer Mark McAndrew spearheaded an 11-0 run that put some serious space between the Bears and the Crimson. Harvard got off only one shot during that run, an airballed jumper by captain Jim Goffredo, as it turned it over near halfcourt on three consecutive possessions to open the second frame. Brown capped its run with consecutive three-point plays by forward Matt Mullery and guard Damon Huffman. “Those first minutes of the second...

Goffredo shot 4-of-7 overall and 3-of-4 from three-point range in the first half, and after he knocked down his first two threes after halftime, it looked like the senior shooting guard was heading to another performance like last year’s at Brown, when he shot 8-of-10 from three-point range and finished with 30 points. But Goffredo faced significantly amplified pressure down the stretch, and did not hit again from the floor, misfiring on the final six shots he took. ON THE RISE Friday night...

She finished the first half with five shots made from downtown and helped Yale cut Harvard’s lead to five by the first buzzer.Though Van Horne had the hot hand in the first half, Harvard coach Kathy Delaney-Smith thought the Crimson could have done a better job containing a good shooter.“[Van Horne] is a three-point shooter,” Delaney-Smith said. “The [scouting report] was to not let her have...
Harvard’s defense also had difficulty with its traditional nemesis, the three-point shot. Thanks to quick-release sharpshooters Caleb and Nick Holmes, who each hit a pair of trifectas, Yale was 8-of-15 from downtown for the game, compared with just 3-of-15 for the Crimson—a difference that perfectly accounted for the 15-point gap between the teams at the end of the night...
