The teams exchanged offensive runs for most of the second half. The Crimson came out of the locker room still fired up from the first half, and two early three-pointers from Harvey gave Harvard its biggest lead at 57-31. While not shooting at the 67 percent clip of the first half, the Crimson did continue to shoot well early in the second half.

The Terriers slowly crept to within striking distance. Buoyed by its rebounding advantage, and aggressive play from Jason Grochowalski and Stijn Dhondt, B.U. started a 16-2 run with ten minutes left to pull to 67-60. Partly out of desperation, B.U. heaved up long distance shots and drove the lane, looking to draw fouls and maybe hit the errant three.

But while Harvard shot only 38 percent from the field in the second half, B.U. shot worse, going 11-of-35 (31.4 percent).

The Crimson had not gone cold, just unlucky. It scored only five points in nine minutes, and turned the ball over due to a strong press by the Terriers. Meanwhile, B.U. wasted valuable time fighting for offensive rebounds and getting its plays set up. They continued to turn the ball over, and picked up fouls at an alarming rate. B.U.'s comeback was killed when Dhondt picked up four fouls in only three minutes. Added to the one he picked up in the first half, Dhondt was out with a minute and a half left to play.

Harvard then closed out the game with free throws, and won by a comfortable 16-point margin.

Lost in the boxscore was Clemente, who once again was limited to a subsidiary offensive role. He had a season-low 11points, and the only shots he made were three-pointers and free throws. While Harvard tried to get the ball inside to its star forward, Dhondt was responsible for continuously pushing "D.C" out of position. Though frustrated, Clemente did lead the Crimson with seven rebounds.

"It happened against Albany, too," Sullivan said. "He's a marked man. I mean, that's going to happen so it's great to see guys like Pat pick up some scoring, Elliott pick up some scoring... I think our guys have done pretty well the last two games, adjusting to the possibility of Dan being short-circuited."

Prasse-Freeman finished with sixteen points, while Harvey led the team with seventeen points, despite playing only 27 minutes.
