Brown center Alaivaa Nuualiitia decided to take over the game. His defense and rebounding kept Harvard stuck at 51 points for almost five minutes, while his inside presence let the Brown offense get to the free-throw line and the three-point line. Guard Jesse Wood hit 4-of-9 from downtown for 21 total points, while backup Patrick Nee went 3-of-6 from behind the arc. Brown pulled to 62-58 with three minutes remaining before Harvard hit a few key free throws to finish them off.

While Clemente had 22 points and Long chipped in 16, the story of the game was the Harvard defense. Brown was held to only 39.3 percent shooting from the floor and turned the ball over 19 times. Hunt only took nine shots all game and finished with six points.

"Gellert on Hunt was big," Sullivan said. "Gellert gave the team excellent energy. He specifically tried to understand Hunt from the last game, and we treated him like a special player this time."

Notes

Prasse-Freeman's 15 assists against Yale tied the Harvard record for most assists in a game. He ties the record set by Glenn Fine, who had 15 against Detroit December 26, 1977...

With 11 total steals on the weekend, Gellert moves his season total to 65, one shy of the Harvard season record of 66, set by Keith Webster and Mike Gielen back in the late 1980's...

Tim Coleman was on the sideline in a snappy suit and tie against Yale. He wasn't injured, however. Coleman thought Saturday's afternoon shoot-around began at 2:15. But it began at 2 instead, so Sullivan benched him. Sullivan claimed that it was standard procedure for truants and that Coleman took it like a man. Luckily for the Crimson, his absence wasn't a factor.
