DURHAM, N.H.—Harvard received big plays from the youngest and oldest players in its rotation to defeat New Hampshire 83-81 in overtime at the Lundholm Gymnasium in Durham, New Hampshire. After captain guard Jim Goffredo’s three-pointer tied the game at 81-81 with just over a minute left in overtime, freshman guard Jeremy Lin stole the Wildcats’ inbounds pass after UNH (1-5) had called timeout. With 23.8 seconds left, he drove the lane for an off-balance reverse layup to give the Crimson (3-3) an 83-81 lead...

The style of play in the league has adjusted to accommodate this evolution, producing offenses like the motion-oriented, three-pointer-generating machine of Princeton, or the fast, guard-driven, up-and-down attack of Penn. Ivy teams generally employ small, mobile lineups that utilize the three position on the court as a third guard rather than a small forward, capitalizing on the opportunity to add another perimeter shooter to the lineup.Last year, Harvard...
...heartbreaking overtime loss to Dartmouth the night before, turned the first half into a back-and-forth battle in which Harvard’s brief four-point lead with 14:44 remaining would be the biggest margin of the half. The Lions gained momentum on four early three-pointers to stay in the game, a stark contrast to the teams’ February game in which Harvard dominated from the first jump. “We’ve come out tight in a lot of our games,” Tay said, “and we?...
