M. Hoops Meets Northwestern

Maybe life after D.C. won't be so bad after all.

After losing junior superstar Dan Clemente for the season last Friday, the

Harvard men's basketball team will continue its rebuilding process Saturday afternoon against Northeastern at Lavietes Pavillion.

Despite losing Clemente, who had been the team's leading scorer with 21.2

points per game, the Crimson (4-4, 1-0 Ivy) has not given up its hope for an Ivy crown.

"We know that we can't become complaisant now," freshman guard Elliott Prasse-Freeman said. "We have to focus on playing well in every game."

In its second game after Clemente's season-ending eye surgery, the Crimson won its first league match of the year Wednesday night, upsetting Dartmouth 66-59. All five starters posted double figures in scoring, with junior Tim Coleman's 14 points leading the way.

The Crimson backcourt also turned in a stellar effort against the Big Green. Sophomore guard Drew Gellert chalked up seven rebounds and thirteen points, and Prasse-Freeman, his freshman partner-in-crime, finished with eight rebounds, six assists, and 12 points.
