NEW HAVEN, Conn.--It's a record that the Harvard men's basketball Class of 1999 started building four years ago. HARVARD  70 BROWN  64 HARVARD  81 YALE  58

After a pair of road wins over small-timers Brown and Yale, five Harvard seniors can finally claim it: the winningest four years in school history.

The Crimson (13-13, 7-7 Ivy) posted its 58th win since the beginning of the 1995-96 season and, by finishing .500, earned its fourth straight non-losing season--the first time since 1928 that's happened.

Harvard also secured fourth place in the Ivy League by outlasting a late Brown (4-22, 2-12) rally 70-64 on Friday night and then routing Yale (4-22, 2-12) 81-58 on Saturday.

"On Friday, it was amazing how

focused everyone was," said sophomore forwardDan Clemente. "We knew we wanted to go out and getthe record, and it's great for the seniors that wedid."

Clemente poured in 42 points on the weekend,shooting 15-of-26 from the floor and making seventhree-pointers. Shooting guard Mike Beam added 38points, going 10-of-18 from behind the arc to tiethe single-season mark for threes with 73.

Harvard 81, Yale 58

Clemente keyed a 22-0 second-half run byhitting 4-of-5 from three-point range, and theCrimson hit a school-record 15 treys to round outthe season with an 81-58 blowout win over Yale atLee Amphitheater.

Clemente finished with 25 points on 8-of-11shooting and Beam added 17-shooting 5-of-9 fromdistance-as Harvard outscored Yale 56-32 after theinter-mission.

"There's not much to say," Clemente said. "Thefirst couple of threes I shot felt good, I keptmaking them and then it was like, whoa! Zonecheck!"

Harvard trailed 26-25 at the break and allowedthe Bulldogs the first three points of the secondbefore launching the run that put the game away.

After senior center Bill Ewing's baselinejumper and senior guard Tim Hill's drive pulledthe Crimson even at 29-29, Clemente corralled aloose ball several feet behind the top of the arcand launched a 25-foot attempt with the shot clockexpiring, shockingly familiar to his make lastweek against Princeton.

This time, however, Clemente got nothing butair, and the 2,419 in attendance let him know it.

"That one, I rushed a little bit," Clementelaughed. "[Senior point guard Tim Hill] kind ofrolled it to me and the shot clock was almostgone."

But Clemente was untouchable on every otherattempt, thriving in the mismatch with Bulldogcenter Neil Yanke. He scored 12 of the Crimson'snext 18 points, all on spot-up threes generated byhis characteristic head fake and good offensiverotation.
