Prasse-Freeman also played outstanding despite poor shooting numbers, gathering 14 assists and only one turnover, which was a traveling violation in the second half.

"Elliott played with a great assist-turnover ratio," said Sullivan. "He didn't let Friday night [against Princeton] get to him."

The final home game of the season marked the final home games for Long and 12th man Ethan Altaratz. Altaratz got to start and didn't waste the opportunity, getting two points and a block in eight minutes of play.

Long finished out a great home season that saw him become the premier long-range shooter for the Crimson. Epitomizing the definition of captain, Long rallied his troops in the tense final minutes and made sure they didn't lose their poise as they had against Princeton.

Despite his best efforts, Long was unable to get anything going offensively all night with Jordan guarding him. He went 3-of-11 from the floor, including 1-of-6 from three-point range. His 3-pointer, however, tied him for the Harvard record for consecutive games with a 3-pointer at 23.

"I don't know anybody who plays with more heart than Damian Long," Clemente said. "He deserved to win it."

For the second year in a row, Penn left Lavietes Pavilion thanking the good Lord for a miraculous win. Even though the Quakers are a much improved team from last year and destined for the NCAA tournament, Harvard doesn't care that it gave Penn its toughest Ivy win.

"It's not a moral victory," Clemente said. "We don't take moral victories."
