Perhaps the biggest surprise of this game was the lackluster performance of Clemente. Although the Terrier defense did a good job defending him, many of his shots from behind the three-point line were open looks that simply didn't fall.

The Crimson continued its streak of doing much better in the second half of games. In fact, during the last 8:37 of the first half, Harvard managed only one field goal on a short hook shot from Coleman.

The standout player in this game for the Crimson was Prasse-Freeman. He finished with 16 points, three assists and four rebounds and was able to penetrate the lane against the over-aggressive Terrier defenders.

"They went for eye-fakes, that's how aggressive they were," Prasse-Freeman said. "And their help defense was bad so I was able to drive the lane."

As with all one-point losses, if only a few little things had gone the Crimson's way the outcome would have been quite different.

Harvard has to figure out how to win the close games, since its three losses this season have come by a combined eight points.
