Tommy Amaker’s squad struggled at the free throw line all night, and the lack of discipline seemed rolled over into their defensive strategies as well. To their credit, the Crimson [...]

More so than any other sport, college basketball is a sport of perennial powerhouses.

Harvard Gets 21 Second-Half Points, Beats Yale

By ⋅ November 21, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The word “rivalry” calls up powerful images in the minds of people from the Northeast. On the ice, one might think of cross-border battles so loud and ferocious that they threaten to become international incidents. On the gridiron, perhaps you’d imagine million-dollar superstars trading bombs, each trying to cement his legacy as the premier quarterback [...]

Lin, Wright Lead Second Half Comeback to Upset Eagles

By ⋅ December 10, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Play with fire enough and you will eventually get burned. Consider the Eagles torched. Boston College, for the fourth consecutive game, played a sloppy, lifeless second half. Unfortunately for the “Super Fans” in Silvio O. Conte Forum, the Eagles did not have a double-digit cushion to make up for its lack of play resulting in [...]

Pesky Crimson Come From Behind to Surprise Terriers

By ⋅ December 4, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment
