The time to make the plays and win the game for the Crimson came with eight minutes left. At that point, evidently fed up with the game's slow pace, Brandeis and Harvard decided to make garbage time come early Fifteen of the last 21 points were scored on free throws--13 by Harvard.

The Crimson made the most of its opportunities during the eight-minute foul-fest, outscoring Brandeis, 19-4, finally putting the game out of Brandeis' reach.
