top 25 roundup | Thursday’s games

MEN

No. 9 Connecticut 67, No. 25 Harvard 53

STORRS, CONN.

Jeremy Lamb had 18 points and Andre Drummond added 12 on 6-for-7 shooting and Connecticut beat Harvard, spoiling the Crimson’s first game ever as a ranked team. The Huskies (8-1) appeared ready to pull away twice, once in the first half when they went up nine points and again in the second when they went up by 16 points. But Harvard, the first team from the Ivy League to be in the Top 25 since Princeton in 1998, got back in the game by using its crisp passing attack and some solid work underneath. Kyle Casey had 12 points to lead the Crimson (8-1).
