All of Harvard's players crashed the boards last night. Junior center Tim Coleman finished with a team-high nine boards, and the rest of the starting five finished with at least seven rebounds.
"Dartmouth takes a lot of threes." Coach Frank Sullivan said. "We knew coming into this game that there would be a lot of long rebounds and it was just a matter of getting to them."
With Dartmouth limited to just 7-of-30 shooting from behind the three-point arc, the Crimson simply outhustled Dartmouth to the loose ball.
The Big 'D'
"We worked a lot in practice on recognizing their three-point plays so that we would be ready to contest their shots," Sullivan said.
In the last 1:30, the Big Green missed three three-pointers, which let Harvard out the game away from the charity stripe.
Also, freshman forward Sam Winter held Shawn Gee, who came into this game averaging 25 points per game, to seven points on the night.
