...lead with under six minutes to play. As he has on numerous occasions this year, however, Cusworth responded to the affront. He scored seven of the Crimson’s next nine points, including a huge tip-in off Housman’s missed runner, that allowed Harvard to pull even at 69 apiece and send the game to overtime. “He had the confidence in himself to make a play,” Sullivan said. “The guys on the team had the confidence and the patience to get him the basketball...
...strategy helped to contain the long-range jumpshooting of captain Jim Goffredo, who finished with 18 points on just 5-of-12 shooting and 2-of-7 from behind the arc.

Wisconsin boasts not only a tough team defense, but individual players that can score at will...
...God’s Away on Business”: This one goes out to the Ec concentrators. See: “I’d sell your heart to the junkman baby for a buck, for a buck/If you’re looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch you’re out of luck, you’re out of luck.” Simultaneously a scathing indictment of recruiting season, an explication of the crimson shade of misery which we face each January, and a really badass song, Waits’ little ditty...
