"I struggled much of the game, but I got a little more aggressive with the dribble, hit a big shot, and got going," Beam said.
Even Dexter, who has seen little playing time in an injury-plagued Harvard career, got the starting nod in his final home game and dropped a three-pointer in ten minutes of action.
Something just seemed to come together for these four this weekend. Hill did not have to hold the ball 30 seconds out of each shot clock. Beam showed aggressiveness and mobility, and Harvard got both interior defense and active, appropriate contributions on defense.
"Our preparation for this weekend was incredible," Beam said. "This was the best idea we've had heading into the Penn-Princeton weekend in my career."
Whatever the reason, Carmody clearly summarized the cause of the upset best.
"Harvard was prepared for us, and we couldn't thwart that confidence," Carmody said. "The things that their guys can do well, they did well."
All this on a weekend when Clemente was frequently eliminated as the go-to guy on the offensive end.
It was almost eerie, hearing Princeton, which also lost to Yale the previous weekend, compare its woes to Harvard's successes.
