B.U. couldn't find its shot in the first half, which just made things worse. In addition to the turnovers--15 in the first half alone, and 21 in the game-- the Terriers had trouble against a larger Crimson squad. Usually on the small side, Harvard found itself in the awkward position of playing a team without a true big man. In fact, B.U. played mostly with two forwards and three guards last night.

Most of the Terriers' offense came from guards Paul Seymour and Matt Turner, who had 20 and 7 points, respectively. But outside a few guys, B.U. couldn't put the ball in the hoop, missing a lot of inside jumpers and layups. As a team, B.U. shot only 21-of-61 (34.4 percent) from the field during the game.

"We had to bounce back from [Saturday's 82-78 loss to Albany], where we gave up over 50 percent of field goals, and 50 percent of three pointers," Sullivan said. "We worked on that the last two days, and our defense really gave us an unusual enthusiasm."

Harvard kept up the pressure throughout the first half, keeping the lead hovering around 20 points. B.U. was unable to turn positives into points. For instance, while the Terriers had a rebounding edge, they were unable to convert those into significant second chance points. And instead of using the ten-day break as a way to get ready for the game, it looked as if B.U. had just rusted.

It didn't help that every single Harvard player was playing well. Even the usually unreliable play from centers Onnie Mayshak and Brian Sigafoos had reversed course, and the pair wrecked more havoc than their opponents suspected.

The two combined for twelve points. Sigafoos, for his part, was a perfect 4-of-4 from the field and five rebounds. More importantly, both Mayshak and Sigafoos owned the lane, seemingly able to score every time they got the ball inside. That more than anything set the stage for the other players to get good looks from three-point range.

"The other teams in the Ivy League will start to recognize our presence inside," Mayshak said.
