Harvard 77, Penn 62
Clemente's 29 points and Penn's 23 turnovers combined to give Harvard its largest margin of victory over the Quakers in over four decades. It was far from domination, but the Crimson outplayed the Quakers in all facets of the game.
"Harvard did a great job, but I'm not surprised they played well," said Penn Coach Fran Dunphy. "We just weren't playing well as a team and we did foolish things defensively."
Harvard seemed to have the momentum out of the gate as Prasse-Freeman and Gellert combined for the Crimson's first seven points. After that, though, it was the Dan Clemente show.
The 6'6 senior, who passed Danny Ferry '85 for eighth on Harvard's all-time scoring list, scored 14 of the Crimson's next 16 points as Harvard held a slim 25-22 lead with four minutes left in the first half.
Then, all hell broke loose.
