...remained inconsistent, scoring two points and declining to attempt a field goal. With its season on the line—five Ivy losses virtually disqualify a team from contending for the conference title—Harvard, led by its junior core of Housman, Harris, and Andrew Pusar, played a woeful first half offensively and defensively, spotting the Bears a 37-16 cushion. The Crimson shot just 22 percent from the floor and logged one assist against eight turnovers, while Brown converted field goals at a 56 percent clip. The team’s youngsters, most notably Blankenau and Fitzgerald, helped...
...aboard the Tay Train. That might well become the motto of the Harvard women’s basketball team, which saw its repeat Ivy Title bid hang precipitously in the balance in an unlikely nail-biter with woeful Penn (3-15, 0-3 Ivy) on Friday night.

Furthermore, military uprisings against Musharraf, they say, are a perpetual rumor in Pakistani politics and impossible to substantiate. It is a testament to the woeful state of the Pakistani political imagination that the only solution it can come up with to a military dictator is a military coup...
Still, this is too favorable of a matchup for the Crimson. Columbia relies on its passing game, specifically the combination of senior signal-caller Craig Hormann and speedy sophomore wideout Austin Knowlin, and Harvard has a truly elite secondary. The Lions are woeful against the run, allowing 267 yards per game, which promises Murphy his full array of offensive options...
