The Yellowjackets continued to run into turbulence en route to the NCAA tournament, narrowly escaping the New York University Violets 79-70 in a double-overtime thriller last Sunday night in New York. Junior forward Andy Larkin had the game winning dunk, jamming two points for the win with 6.6 seconds remaining in the second overtime. The […]
