Men's Basketball Loses to B.U. in Final Second

Rough night behind arc dooms Crimson

After a B.U. timeout, the Terriers lofted an outside shot that missed, but sophomore Ignacio Rodriguez got the offensive rebound and then missed a dunk while being fouled by Prasse-Freeman

Rodriguez missed his first free throw but made the second to make the B.U. lead 54-53. On the ensuing inbounds pass, Prasse- Freeman mishandled the ball and the Terriers' Matt Turner got the loose ball.

With most of the Crimson players at the other end of the court, Turner was able to exploit the man advantage and feed Avebe for an easy lay-up.

With the Terriers up 56-53, sophomore guard Drew Gellert found Coleman open beyond the three-point arc. Coleman drained the shot to tie the game at 56-56 with 1:51 to play.

After a Crimson timeout, Turner, who had 10 points on 3-of-11 shooting, drove the lane and made a lay-up to put B.U. back on top 58-56.

Harvard's next possession was marked by a glut of offensive rebounds. After Long missed on a look from just inside three-point range, Gellert got the offensive board and kicked it to junior Dan Clemente, who fired from behind the three-point line.

Clemente, who had six points on 3-of-16 shooting, missed this three-point shot just as he missed each of the other seven threes he took last night.
