But the trio of junior Goffredo, freshman Housman, and senior swingman Michael Beal has contributed 35 points per game and cleared away any doubts about the Crimson’s perimeter play. Housman might be the most surprising member of that backcourt, as he has stepped into the starting point guard role and flourished...
