18:14 #FF @findthelastman. Take *that*, Christmas Creep!
18:17 RT @LoyolanSports: @midmajority Happy birthday to the ultimate Lions Hank Gathers. #44 would have turned 44 today. #HappybirthdayHank
19:42 Game 7-050: Yale at Harvard. Lavietastic! http://img.ly/2YVg
19:44 Fitting that we get here at halftime; it's No. 50. It's 3:12 1H, Yale leads 35-33. Both teams shooting 58%.
19:46 Why are we late? Save that for halftime. In the meantime, thrill to the Casey/Wright show. 16 pts combined on 8/11 shooting.
19:47 Thanks! Weren't we just here? RT @harvardcrimson: @midmajority welcome!
19:48 :28.7 1H, 38-37 Harvard. Both teams trading baskets in the basketball version of The Game.
19:49 Just a warning: yet another TMM megarant(tm) coming. So unfollow now, save yourself.
19:50 Porter Braswell 1/2 FT as Crimson student section yells, "I hate you Porter! I never liked you at all!" Halftime. 38-38 tie, Yale & Harvard.
19:50 RT @harvardcrimson: @midmajority you've missed some #omgdunx by Harvard and impressive deep shooting from Yale
19:51 Looks like we missed a nasty facial #omgdunx by Kyle Casey. Is that even legal in Massachusetts?
19:53 Harvard's dance team. Title R compliant. http://img.ly/2YVx
19:54 Harvard's dance team does synchronized hair flips, a/k/a the "Miami style" of cheerleading. Almost forgot this was Friday in the Ivy League.
19:55 OK. So.
19:56 I just spent 45 minutes underground in a stuck T train at Central, one stop away. There was a "switch problem at Alewife."
19:56 They let us out, finally, but when I went up to Mass Ave, it took 20 minutes to find a cab. This is what the driver said to me:
19:57 "I can't take you to Harvard. I'm a Boston cab." So I got back on the train, waited some more, and got here 30 minutes late.
19:58 I love you, Boston... actually, no I don't. This city drives me f___ing crazy. The thought of spending Feb. here made me want to eat glass.
19:59 Boston is great if you're a college student for four years, but seriously, when you're done? Get the hell out.
20:00 It's so adorable because it's old & nothing works right and the streets were made for horses, but it's a horrible, broken, ridiculous city.
20:00 Oh, and f___ the Red Sox too.
20:01 And nobody cares about college basketball here. GET OUT NOW.
20:01 Wow, that felt good. Second half of Yale-Harvard coming up, stay tuned.
20:05 @harvardcrimson I know. But the guy who *really* did moved down to Florida. The city is poorer for that.
20:07 Kyle Casey opens the scoring in the second half with a strong layup; Harvard takes the lead 40-39.
20:09 Casey up top of the key to Wright for two; on next poss, a Casey fallaway j. What a big man tandem. HARV 44-40.
20:11 We have been challenged to find a nickname for Yale's Greg Mangano, the 3rd leading scorer in the Ivy. 4/6 for 12 points tonight.
20:13 And big Mangano shows off his #superhoop touch! Deep one. A touch-in for another two! Harvard still up 46-45 at 16:06.
20:16 In fairness, Boston brought us the Celtics, the Beanpot, & The Cars. I also took a duck boat ride once, it actually didn't suck that much.
20:17 RT @noah_becker: @pretzel_logic @midmajority The Hellion of New Haven
20:19 50-47 HARV at 13:48 1H. While Casey & Wright are dropping bombs, rest of the team is 6-for-15. Backcourt play. Princeton's got them there.
20:19 RT @mwmiller20: @midmajority I'm not all into showing everything you got, but, isn't Harvard's dance team a bit over-clothed?
20:20 There was a point to that. They ripped off the jackets and were wearing t-shirts that spelled out "HARVARD." It was awesome. @mwmiller20
20:24 It's tied at 53 with 12 minutes to go in regulation. Yale's turnovers are canceling out Harvard's rebounding.
20:24 Not. bad! RT @mwmiller20: @midmajority The tall pale Yale male?
20:26 Corrected. Too many paint points for that to happen. RT @harvardcrimson: @midmajority we have a rebound?
20:28 MTO2: loud announcement as the Harvard dance team's final performance of the evening. A sigh from the student section. http://img.ly/2YWe
20:28 And then Quinnipiac-Yale in the First Four?!?!? RT @TheNational: @midmajority is this the year Yale forces a Playoff and makes the Dance??
20:29 Matt Brown just nailed a #superhoop with his ass in our faces. Breaks a tie, Yale TO, "talk it over" chant. It's 60-57 HARV.
20:31 What Yale talked about was getting Austin Morgan open for a #superhoop. Tied up again at 60, 8:01 left in regulation.
20:33 Oliver McNally with a #sweet no-look to Kyle Casey, plus-one. Casey/Wright 30 of HARV's 62, 14/21 from the floor.
20:36 You have to excuse @TheNational; he lives for three things: Yale hoops, Pilot Pen tennis and the Can-Am League's New Haven County Cutters!
20:39 The new "thing" at Harvard seems to be #superhoopwithyourassinmidmajority'sface.Lauren Rivard for threeeee, 66-62 Crimson.
20:40 Brandyn Curry just took a hard stumble and limped off the floor. Hushed silence over Lavietes. Doesn't look particularly good.
20:42 Three point five to go, Harvard leads by just a bucket.
20:43 "I!" ("I!")
20:45 Wright with a outback, Mangano with a reply layup. 70-68 Harvard with two to go.
20:45 Decisive! RT @midmajority360: Princeton 76 Columbia 46 | PRIN 18-4 (6-0) COLU 12-9 (3-4) | http://tmm7.me/du1 #Ivy
20:46 RT @thenational: @midmajority I live for Story Time with My kid with Bally leading the Way! Pilot Pen, Hoops from the Aleutian Islands to New Haven
20:48 Austin Morgan with a couple of free throws for Yale, and we're tied again. 70-up, 1:15 left.
20:49 Christian Webster layup from Wright, a minute to go. Yale empty possession. Harvard up two, :38.2. Curry's back in the game, shooting FT's.
20:50 Harvard by four, 74-70. 30 seconds left. Big trip for Yale. Casey absorbs the foul, Morgan shoots two. Make, subs in and out, make.
20:51 :29 in regulation, Harvard up 74-71. Yale presses. Harvard breaks! And it ends with a #OMGDUNX by Wright! That was a two-point dunk shot!
20:53 Fifteen seconds remaining, Harvard up 76-72. Sealed with a #dunx! An "MVP" chant from the students followed by the traditional "Yale sucks."
20:53 Oh, and "safety school." Can't let Yale out of the building without that one.
20:54 And "just like football." Rivard a long rebound and a tie-up, and that'll do it. :04.6, make, make. Final score: 78-75.
20:54 Morgan with a last-ditch #superhoop for Yale to make the score look pretty.
20:55 They believed. They won. #Harvard http://img.ly/2YWO
20:56 Max points RT @BCSisBS: @midmajority 'I don't know why Harvard bothered showing up. They barely even won' - Monty Burns
20:58 They've done that enough, thanks though RT @thebobjewell @midmajority it will be the sox F@&$ing you. Big and hard too. Can't wait!!!
21:06 G'Griffins haven't won at the Broncs' Zoo in ages RT @midmajority360: Canisius 67 Rider 65 | CANI 13-11 (7-7) RID 17-9 (9-5) #MAAC
