...knee injury limited the former NBA finals MVP to just 54 games this season, there were actually questions about whether Wade would even make the Olympic team. But his fresh legs flourished. Team U.S.A.'s most consistent player throughout the tournament, Wade was spectacular on Sunday. His 21 first-half points helped give the U.S. a 69-61 lead at the break (he finished with a game-high 27). Though they trailed, Spain wasn't scared: both teams moved the ball, ran the break, and shot over 60% in the first half. Finally, a game worth watching...
...sorely missed in the later games of the Ivy season and made the road to the Anicent Eight crown significantly harder. The defeat at Dartmouth marked the first of a seven-game Ivy losing streak that would strip Harvard of its chances to nab the top spot. Perhaps the most disappointing defeat of the season came in the sixth game of the streak, as the Crimson wasted a strong first-half performance against eventual Ivy League champion Cornell. Key turnovers in the final seconds allowed the Big Red to wrench the game from Harvard’s grasp...
...with 4:21 and 2:14 left to go into the locker room with a 4-2 lead.

Junior guard Emily Tay sparked the run with eight points, including a pair of three-pointers, and Hallion added a pair of jumpers. Dartmouth, which shot a blistering 68 percent from the field in the first half, mustered an abysmal 5-for-28 clip in the second half after the Crimson switched its zone defense to an aggressive...
...Harvard women’s basketball team. But Friday night in Providence, a poor first half placed the Crimson in a dogfight. The team did not panic. The players gathered themselves in the locker room before dominating the Bears (2-25, 1-12 Ivy) in the second half on their way to a 68-47 win that guaranteed Harvard (18-9, 11-2) at least a share of the Ivy League title. “Once we got the jitters out in the first half, we knew we just had to get it done and we started playing the kind...
