It was one of Dan Clemente's favorite shots. He thought it was going in, as did the 2,125 fans at Lavietes Pavilion who gathered to watch the Harvard men's basketball team play its final home game of the season.

But when Clemente's turn-around three-point shot with 1.9 seconds left glanced off the rim, a crazy back-and-forth game ended with Penn escaping with a 62-61 victory.

The miss was a disappointing end to an otherwise exciting weekend, which saw the Crimson first get blown off the court 63-48 by Princeton Friday night and then return to scare the NCAA-tournament bound Quakers on Saturday.

Penn 62, Harvard 61

Harvard (10-15, 5-7 Ivy) had kept the game close the entire way and overcame a 10-point deficit in the second half to pull within three with just under 30 seconds remaining to set up the final sequence.

Captain Damian Long, playing in his final home game, hit both ends of the one-and-one to get the Crimson to the final one-point deficit. Harvard then tried to steal the ball, but when the Quakers crosses half-court, it tried to foul any player.

Penn (18-7, 11-0), however, played keep away, shaving valuable seconds off the game clock. Star Penn guard Michael Jordan got the ball, jumped up looking for someone to pass to, but came down without getting rid of the ball and was called for the travel. Harvard remained alive for the last shot with 9.3 seconds left.

The Crimson inbounded the ball to freshman guard Elliott Prasse-Freeman, who worked the ball up the court before finding Clemente in the corner. Jordan, however, switched off a screen and was able to get a piece of the ball-- knocking it out of bounds and forcing the final shot with 1.9 seconds left.
