Freebies

Free throw shooting was the key to the end of the game.

Harvard shot 89.5 percent from the free throw line on the night, with four out of the five starters shooting 100 percent.

With 17 of Harvard's 66 points coming from the charity stripe, free throws were hugely important down the stretch as the Crimson protected its lead.

From two minutes to go, with Harvard leading by a slim one point, Harvard scored two field goals and made 5-of-6 free throws to ice the win.

Inexperience, Schminexperience

At times, Harvard played a lineup consisting of four freshmen and one sophomore. Although this unit looked a bit confused on a few plays, they performed well.

"We consider ourselves a work in progress," Sullivan said. "We're going to have patience with our young kids."

Certainly, if this game is any indication, the Crimson will be able to rely on these players for the next four years without any worries at all.
