He once forgot Valentine's Day and baked chicken for dinner to make it up.<br /><br />The hard work paid off. In his junior year, Lin and his teammates beat Boston College, the first time Harvard had defeated a ranked opponent in the program's history.<br /><br />They repeated the feat the next year with a second, epic win over BC.<br /><br />Lin also played well in losses to two other tough opponents, Georgetown and UConn. Against UConn, Lin scored 30 points, a college career high.<br /><br />In his senior year, Lin led Harvard to win 21 games. It was the first time Harvard won more than 20 games in a season since 1946.<br /><br />By the time he graduated, Lin was the highest scoring player in Ivy League history, with 1,483 points.<br /><br />But Harvard hadn't sent a player to the NBA since 1953, when Ed Smith was drafted to the New York Knicks. Did Lin have the skills to punch his ticket to the NBA?
