Harvard Rally Falls Short, Golden Eagles Win NIT Game 67-60

Harvard managed to trim a 19-point Marquette lead to just five, but the Golden Eagles held on to win their first-round N-I-T showdown at the Al McGuire Center 67-60 Wednesday.  Seven Marquette turnovers late in the game helped the Crimson comeback.  Markus Howard let the Eagles with 22 points, while Andrew Rowsey chipped in with 15.  Marquette nailed seven-of-16 3-pointers, even though the line was placed more than a foot-and-a-half farther from the basket for the N-I-T.  The Golden Eagles will stay at home for the tournament’s second round against Oregon Sunday at 3:30 P-M.
