GW vs. Harvard

I went to my first GW men's basketball at Smith Center on Saturday. GW took on Harvard. GW lead for a large part of the game but in the end could not pull it off. They ended up loosing 67-62. This best sums up what happened:

Not long after the first scheduled timeout of the second half, the momentum shifted against GW. The Colonials had gone up 41-34 on David Pellom's alley-oop dunk and seemed poised to break the game open. But then the Colonials started having trouble putting the ball in the basket. After making 48.1 percent of its shots in the first half, GW struggled against Harvard's zone defense, making only 37.9 percent of its shots from the floor after halftime.

It was a rather frustrating game to watch because they should have won easily. But as they say that's why you play the game.
