The three-guard set proved deadly for the Crimson all night as Prasse-Freeman, Gellert, and Long combined for 18 assists and 38 points, averaging 37 minutes of play between them.

Prasse-Freeman had the biggest night of his young collegiate career, showing flashes of brilliance reminiscent of Crimson star point guard Tim Hill '99.

"Elliott really saw his first meaningful minutes all year tonight, and I was really happy with his performance," Sullivan said. "He did a great job against an excellent defensive team."

One of the most intense players on the court, Prasse-Freeman's tenacity proved invaluable throughout the game.

Stealing the ball from junior guard Reggie Skipworth under the basket and then drawing the foul, Prasse-Freeman sent the crowd to its feet, nailing both free throws and giving the Crimson its first lead of the game, 54-53.

Despite his flashy performance, the freshmen point guard didn't let anyone forget his age, succumbing to a number of rookie mistakes.

Prasse-Freeman turned the ball over four times and ill-advisedly fouled a Navy player in a double-bonus situation with a check at halfcourt in the game's final minutes. He proved that he needs more game experience before the Crimson can count on him as its go-to man.

In the meantime, Harvard will need to rely on Clemente to take control and lead the team to victory.
