While I was telling the guy behind the counter what I wanted on my sandwich, some woman ran in screaming about about some guy who was choking her friend. The man behind the counter ran out of the store to confront the assailant while his assistant called the police. As we ate our subs, the police arrived and interviewed the Subway workers.

Ah, New Haven.

Despite this weird omen, Rahul and I were reasonably confident that Harvard could win that night. As it turned out, though, Harvard was the primary choking suspect of the evening.

The Crimson shot a horrible 32 percent from the field and an atrocious 15 percent from behind the arc, as Harvard fell to Yale for the second time this year. Captain Dan Clemente, Harvard's leading scorer, could only muster 13 points, and sophomore guard Pat Harvey--who is usually very productive offensively--finished the game with four points.

Yale, meanwhile, played with precision and poise. The Elis once again finished with a positive assist-to-turnover ratio, and shot 46 percent from the field and 40 percent from beyond the arc. Captain Neil Yanke paced Yale with 18 points and eight rebounds.

Although Harvard's defense was markedly better in this game, the Crimson still could not generate transition points off turnovers. Ultimately, the better team won and sadly that team happened to be Yale.

"The main thing we'll take from this weekend is huge disappointment," Sullivan said. "We just have to rally the next couple of weekends."

Unfortunately for Harvard, the next couple of weekends will be largely inconsequential because of this past weekend's collapse.
