went five minutes without scoring and eight and a half minutes
without a field goal.

Boston's Last Time Out
BU has played a tough schedule so far with games against
George Washington, Kansas State, Georgia Tech and Indiana - which
the Terriers defeated.
On Wednesday, led by 18 points each from sophomore
Jake O'Brien and senior Corey Lowe, Boston University outlasted
cross-town rival Northeastern for a 69-64 overtime victory at Case
Gym. Down by one with 1:14 to go in overtime, the Terriers scored
the final six points of the extra session.
Harvard Coach Tommy
Amaker
Tommy Amaker (Duke '87) begins his third season as head
coach of the Harvard men's basketball team. He registered his 200th
career coaching victory Nov. 13 in the 2009-10 season opener at
Holy Cross.
He brings a 203-175 career head coaching record
into the game, including a 109-83 record at Michigan at a 68-55
record at Seton Hall.
Amaker came to Harvard after a six year stint as
Michigan's head coach. Inheriting a program that was reeling from
institutional and NCAA sanctions, he led the Wolverines to the
postseason three times, winning the 2004 NIT title, reaching the
championship game of the 2006 NIT, and advancing to the second
round of the 2007 tournament. The 2006-07 season was Michigan's
second straight 20-win campaign and its third in four years. The
Wolverines were ranked as high as No. 20 in the nation during the
2005-06 season.
