"I was able to get good penetration tonight andI was also able to finish," Hill said.

Harvard maintained the double-digit advantage,taking a 38-28 lead into the intermission andcommitting just one turnover against Brown'seight.

The second half was more of the same, asClemente got hot from behind the arc, netting3-of-5 threes and scoring 12 of his 20 points.

"Clemente is a great shooter," said Brown CoachFrank "Happy" Dobbs. "We approached the match-upknowing he would take a lot of shots, and he shot8-of-18, but between him and Hill, they reallycarried the scoring load."

The Bears closed to 66-56 with 5:21 to play,but Clemente drained a trademark three-pointerfrom the right corner off Fisher's kick-out fromthe paint, Beam recorded his four-point play andHill added a three-point play to make the lead76-58 with 2:31 left. Hill's points came when hedrove the lane on the left side and drew guardPatrick Nee's foul.

"Give Harvard credit," Dobbs said. "They hitthe big shots when they had to. Every time we puttogether a run, they hit the big shot. Hill hurtus--I thought that was the major difference."

Freshman guard Drew Gellert played the lion'sshare of bench minutes for the second straightgame, getting five rebounds and four assists in 22minutes as the third guard in relief of juniorDamian Long.

"Gellert has made excellent progress," Sullivansaid. "Usually we worry about the freshmen neverregrouping after exams, but to see him have thegames he's having is encouraging. He's added a lotof defense, which is a dimension we haven't beengood at."

Harvard 76, Yale 58

In its first game after the exam break, Harvardcame out sluggish as a team against Yale, but acareer offensive performance from Beam spotted theCrimson a 10-point halftime lead in spite of 32percent shooting from the rest of the team.

Harvard shifted into gear in the second half,putting up 43 points to complete a 76-58 rout ofthe Bulldogs.

Beam--who finished with a career-high 24points--had 15 in the first half on 5-of-7shooting from behind the three-point line.

In addition to his lights-out performance frombehind the arc, the sharpshooter had what might bethe most complete game of his career. Beam grabbedsix rebounds, an assist, and a steal, and executedextremely well on the offensive end.

"Beam obviously was a big lift tonight,"Sullivan said. "I thought he got off screensextremely well."

It was clearly a night "in the zone" for thesenior.
