Their vigor continued through the Babson Tournament in which the hoopsters placed sec- ond, losing only to Merrimack College. Playing an exciting season, the team won seven of twenty games. Of the thirteen losses, two were double over- timesg one was a single overtime. The U of H hoopsters sported an all-sophomore team with the exception of junior Mike Dwyer. They were led by top-notch ballplayers, co-captains Bill McQuiggan, and john Smolen. Careful ball handling enabled the quintet to be termed one of the best defensive teams in the state. Defensively strong, the Hawks lacked a sense of power. They scored an average of 65 points per game. Top rebounder and scorer was jim Harrington with 183 rebounds. Following close behind was Mike Dwyer who recovered 180 rebounds. He proved also to be top foul shooter with 8142 of his shots hitting the rim. He also led from the field with the completion of 49075 of his attempts. After coming alive in the last half of the blustery season, Harrington became Hartford's best all-around player. He portrayed a diversity of talents in both rebounding and scor- ing, he averaged seventeen points per game. The team was coached by Roy Spear.
