2014–15 Harvard Crimson men's basketball team edit

5x expanded by TonyTheTiger (talk). Self nominated at 02:37, 20 March 2015 (UTC).

  • Prose length on March 14 was 282 characters, on March 20 was 2089 characters (343 words) which is about 7.5x expanded. The sourcing looks fine, and the hook is sourced to a news article at ivyleaguesports.com. I might suggest rephrasing the hook for some clarity between the two numbers, just to put the initial fact first, and then why its unique. As in, "the 2014–15 Harvard team represented its school in a 4th consecutive NCAA tournament, the third Ivy school to achieve a streak of that length." Keep up the good work!-- Patrick, oѺ 17:59, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
