WE all laughed, cheered and held our basketballs on chains up in celebration. The thing I remember most about the win was the parents being so happy, the TEACHERS most of all with tears in their eyes and smiles. They were really FOR us, on our side. For 4 years we had felt they were against us and didn't like us much like kids do about Teachers in school. We realized what this meant to the school and teachers. They were really happy for US. It made the last few months and graduation really fun and easy. The following Summer was a great time in our lives. :0)

Trio of Bigs will be Key Against New Mexico
By Hope Schwartz, CRIMSON STAFF WRITER
Opening the 2012-2013 basketball season, Harvard’s success depended almost entirely on wing Wes Saunders and point guard Siyani Chambers. The sophomore-freshman duo came out hot, with Chambers’s vision and distribution complimenting Saunders’s speed off the dribble and ability to finish in the paint.
For a team with no clear identity after the loss of co-captains Kyle Casey and Brandyn Curry, the Saunders-Chambers combo seemed like the Crimson’s best shot to do offensive damage at the beginning of the season.
However, early non-conference losses highlighted Harvard’s weakness in the paint, and strong interior players like Connecticut forward DeAndre Daniels exploited the Crimson’s relative lack of size and strength. With no established power forward—let alone center—and a tough non-conference schedule ahead, the young team struggled to find its rhythm and spell Saunders, who was limited on offense when he was tasked with defending the opponent’s strongest scoring threat.
Then came the bigs.
The evolution of sophomore forwards Jonah Travis, Kenyatta Smith and Steve Mondou-Missi—who all averaged fewer than 14 minutes per game as freshmen—has been key to the Crimson’s late-season success. Though the three have developed distinct roles and identities, their playing time has been inexorably linked to each other’s success in a lineup that tends to employ four perimeter players, leaving space for one inside presence.
Heating up at different times and in key situations throughout the season, the trio has combined to hand the Crimson some of its most important wins—and will be even more crucial when Harvard takes on New Mexico in the NCAA tournament.
“[The Lobos] are big and that’s the thing,” Harvard coach Tommy Amaker said, after learning about the matchup on Selection Sunday. “They are a big, strong and powerful team. Their guards have size, and you are looing at six-seven on the perimeter.”
The Lobos favored starting lineup includes seven-foot center Alex Kirk and a backcourt that ranges from 6’3” to 6’7”.
Throughout the season, the Crimson has struggled to contain tall teams like New Mexico, but if there’s hope for Harvard, it lies with the bigs and their development through Amaker’s season long search for a consistent post presence.
Moundou-Missi came into the season with the most experience of the three—averaging five points in 14 minutes per game as a freshman—and was thrust into a starting role at the beginning of the year, starting the first five games. But, foul trouble plagued the forward and limited his effectiveness as it forced him to play conservatively.
Moundou-Missi fouled out after only 11 minutes in the Crimson’s win over Manhattan and racked up four personals in two of his other four starts. After failing to make the impact Amaker was looking for, Moundou-Missi went to the bench, where he was able to make a bigger impact, scoring in double digits in half of Harvard’s conference contests—including a 17-point night at Yale.
However, as chants of “Steeeeeeve” began to fill Lavietes, Moundou-Missi had one more hurdle to overcome—his free throw shooting.
During Harvard’s first Ivy home stand, the forward went eight for 18 at the stripe, missing key opportunities down the stretch in close wins over Brown and Yale. But Moundou-Missi adapted, and never shot below 75 percent from the line for the rest of the season.
Like Moundou-Missi, Smith started the first fives games but quickly took a secondary role after struggling to finish in the paint. Smith waited in the wings for the majority of the season, averaging 14 minutes per game, until Amaker put him back in the lineup for the Penn-Princeton homestand.
Smith’s breakout weekend could not have come at a better time for the Crimson. Having dropped a road contest to Columbia, the matchups against the Killer P’s were must wins at home if Harvard were to remain in contention for the title.
Smith put up a career-high 20 points against Penn on Friday and was one rebound away from a triple-double, adding 10 blocks. On Saturday, the forward followed it up with 14 points on 100 percent shooting from both the field and the line, while notching six blocks to boot. At 6’8”—the tallest of the three—Smith leads the Crimson with 2.2 blocked shots per game, and his performances against Penn and Princeton earned him the start for the remainder of the regular season.
When Smith and Moundou-Missi went to the bench after the first five games of the season, Amaker turned to Travis, who started in 14 straight games in a hot mid-season stretch. The forward came out firing in the season opener against MIT—putting up 14 points in 21 minutes—and a 16 point performance against Fordham earned him his first career start in the Crimson’s next contest at Boston College.
However, Travis’ season has been marked by inconsistency. His season-high 19 points against Saint Mary’s came late in non-conference play, and since a 16-point performance in the Crimson’s Ivy home opener Travis has not scored in double digits again. As conference play has progressed and Smith and Moundou-Missi have heated up, Travis has seen progressively less playing time, sitting out the final game of the season.
Going into Thursday’s matchup, it remains to be seen which lineup Amaker chooses. Taking a page from the start of the season, he could choose to tap Smith and Moundou-Missi in an attempt to get as much size on the court as possible. However, its more likely he will go with the four-guard combination of Chambers, Saunders, and co-captains Christian Webster and Laurent Rivard that has become the Crimson’s offensive identity this season, using his trio of bigs in rotation.
Regardless of the lineup Amaker chooses on Thursday, Travis, Smith, and Moundou-Missi face a tall task ahead.

Completed in 1965, the Astrodome in Houston, Harris County, Texas, is an engineering marvel of its time. As the first enclosed and air-conditioned sports stadium in the United States, the Astrodome boasted the largest clear span dome at the time of its completion (642 feet). Dubbed the -Eighth Wonder ofthe World,- by the influential Houston Judge Roy M. Hoff1einz, the Astrodome provided over 60,000 seats while it served as home playing field to Major League Baseball's Houston Astros, the National Football League's Houston Oilers, and the University of Houston's Cougars. The Astrodome also served as a multi-use facility for events such as the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, boxing matches, tennis matches, concerts, trade-shows, and religious assemblies. The Oilers left Houston after the 1996 season, and the Astros played their last game in the Astrodome in 2000 before moving to Enron Field in downtown Houston. In 2005, the building provided temporary shelter to thousands of residents displaced by HuiTicane Katrina flooding, but the Astrodome has sat unused since then. The Astrodome is nominated under Criterion C at the national level in the areas of Architecture and Engineering for its innovations in clea{-span dome design and construction. It is also nominated under Criterion A in the area of Recreation/Entertainment at the national level as the progenitor of enclosed multi-purpose sports stadiums, now an American sports archetype architectural form, and at the local level of significance for its role in sports and popular entertainment in Houston and the suiTounding region. The period of significance extends from 1965 to 2000, the period during which major-league sporting events were regularly held in the arena. The property meets Criteria Consideration G (Properties that Have Achieved Significance within the Past Fifty Years) as an exceptionally significant example of stadium construction. In April 2006, the National park Service approved Part 1 of a Federal Preservation Tax Incentives application, concuiTing that the building is eligible for listing under these criteria.

Left - Brenda Martin -center floor -Cassie Young - right floor Debbie Yepsen- standing left - Lisa Peacock - standing right - Barb Yocum - Top - Sherry Braasch. Cheerleader Coach was Mrs. Dornas. I still remember the day they chose Cheerleaders at our school. They had to come out in front of the entire school and audition. I remember all these girls (Cassie Young hurt herself a bit doing splits and had to be helped off the court but made it to the squad. Others who went out and didn't make the squad were Laurie McAllister, Pam Ascheilman, Barb Burkhalter, Trina Razo I think? and a few others whose names escape me.
March Madness - March 1st 1972 -- Normal Community High Neuman Gym, Normal IL -- WE accept our Trophy for the STATE Championship. I'm in the middle back with both hands raised up by the ladder, sweat band on my right wrist. The three Cheerleaders on the right *the middle one clapping is Sherry Braasch. She came over and danced with me at center court during the fans rushing the court after our win. She was laughing ... said "DEBBIE *right* Yepsen .. .lost her shoe during the celebration, people kept kicking it around, She had to go find it after" We laughed and danced in victory. There's the proof .. Debbie's got her shoe in her left hand, standing there in her sock. What fun we had that night as we cheered all the way home to be stopped by Police and the Fire Department out front of the station. Were loaded onto 3 different Fire Trucks with sirens wailing even as it was after 10:30pm and toured the town chanting "We're No. 1 !!!" led by squad cars.
