M. Basketball Steals its Way to Two Ivy League Wins

Offensively, Harvard dominated both the inside and the outside. Senior guard Damian Long and senior forward Dan Clemente made 4-of-6 and 3-of-7 seven three-pointers, respectively.

"We've shot the three very well the past couple of games," Sullivan said. "Dan and Damien shot very well tonight."

Long was especially impressive, draining NBA-range shots with a defender in his face. Long and Clemente finished with 18 and 19 points on the night.

In the paint, freshman forward Sam Winter was a force. He scored 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting and posted up Yale defenders who enjoyed a four- and five-inch height advantage over him.

"Sam responded to the challenge tonight," Sullivan said. "He did a very good job in tough circumstances."

Perhaps the most impressive attribute of Harvard's offense that evening was freshman point-guard Elliott Prasse-Freeman's unselfishness on offense.

Prasse-Freeman had 15 assists, tying a Harvard single-game record, on the evening to go along with six points and seven rebounds.

"This was the second good game in a row for Elliott," Sullivan said. "It's very important for him, as a freshman, to be consistent in his assist to turnover ratio. This is very encouraging."
