...Lions converted into fast break opportunities. “Sometimes when things don’t go our way on offense, people put their [heads down] and we give up easy baskets on the other end,” junior guard Drew Housman said. Harvard gave up five-straight possessions where Columbia simply out-hustled it in transition. After bringing the lead down to three with nine minutes remaining, the quick transition plays killed off any chance for a Crimson comeback. Harvard, also dealing with foul trouble and the two-headed monster of Baumann and Nwachukwu, dug a little deeper...
...There is no party registration in Vermont, but it was once the most staunchly Republican state in the Union, supporting the G.O.P. in 28 straight presidential elections and enjoying a 108-year gap between Democratic governors.

...average of 60 points, dropping games with scores like 108-16 and 127-32. This season Caltech lost by 29 points per game, took two league opponents into overtime and, for the second consecutive year, won a nonleague game (the team bounced Gallaudet in December). "We've had two straight winning seasons," brags Haussler, before correcting himself. "O.K., two seasons with a win." He laughs. "The paradigm is just different around here...
