Harvard to End Season at Brown, Yale

MEN'S BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Harvard's players felt almost cheated after the teams' first encounter, which Yale won on a last-minute three-pointer by Franklin, and they will be looking for revenge.

Will they get it? Tune in next time for an update from (we've said it before, and we'll say it again) New England's ugliest city.

Around the Ivies

The week's biggest story comes from Philadelphia, where Penn, (22-2, 12-0 defeated Princeton (16-8, 9-3) on Wednesday to solidify its number 25 national ranking and clinch its second straight Ivy League title.

The Quakers rode Matt Maloney's 24 points to an easy 55-43 win, its 26th straight in Ancient Eight play. They will move on to the NCAA tournament next month, while Princeton hopes for an NIT berth.

And how about Dartmouth? You can bet Coach Frank Sullivan and the Crimson are happy to have escaped with their early-season sweep of the Big Green.

Dave Faucher's team (9-15, 5-7) has roared back from a 1-12 start, and the Big Green swept Columbia and Cornell last week behind freshman Sea Lonergan's third Rookie of the Week performance.

Lonergan, a Dallas native who scored 28 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and handed out 13 assists for the weekend, looks to be Harvard frosh Kyle Snowden's main competition for the Ivy League Rookie of the Year award.

Odds and Ends

Campbell on the impending end of his career: "It's kind of weird [to realize that my career will end this weekend]. A lot of times I used to wonder if I would ever get to the end. Now it's finally coming to that, and I want to go out on a positive note."...Anikar Chabra, Harvard's other senior, will also finish his career this weekend. He played in last Saturday's home game against Cornell, drawing some of the biggest cheers of the game...The Crimson will enjoy a reception hosted by the Friends of Harvard Basketball after Saturday's game in New Haven.
