In the first edition of Crimson Faceoff—The Back Page’s new video series that pits Crimson sports writers against varsity athletes—men’s basketball player Andrew F. Van Nest '12 invited a Crimson sports writer to join him on the hardwood at Lavietes Pavilion.

In a game of one-on-one to 11, Van Nest used his height and sweet shooting stroke to capture the victory—but not without a few moments of sweet victory for the Crimson sports writer. Check out The Crimson’s video footage to see all the action!
