Clemente's 32 Leads M. Basketball Past Holy Cross, 80-69

Despite being outrebounded 40-35 and allowing the Crusaders to hit 45 percent from the floor and 43.5 percent from three-point range, Harvard forced Holy Cross into 29 turnovers.

Juan Pegues, who scored a career-high 25 points on 7-of-11 shooting and added six rebounds, led the Crusaders.

Prasse-Freeman, who had a game-high eight assists during the Crimson's 72-43 opening night win against Washington and Lee, added four last night, but turned the ball over six times. But Prasse-Freeman exhibited really uncanny floor sense, delivering his prettiest dish in the first half.

Prasse-Freeman drove the lane with his right hand, elevated and flipped the ball behind his back to Clemente, who was camped out in the left corner for an easy three-point look.

Not only did Clemente mop the floor with the Crusaders, he really mopped the floor.

During a stoppage in the first half, Clemente persuaded the officials to let him wipe down a slick spot on the Hart Center floor with a towel thrown from the Harvard bench.
