Harvard (9-13, 6-3 Ivy) faced two different opponents this weekend. Unfortunately, two very different Harvard teams showed up as well.

Harvard failed to make the same statement Saturday night, falling to Yale 72-61 in overtime. Harvard had a 54-40 victory over Yale (7-16, 2-8) earlier this season, but this contest, against an Eli team looking to play the role of the spoiler, would not prove as easy.
The win was just the second in the Ivies this season for Yale and the loss dropped Harvard to 6-3 in the league. The loss leaves the Crimson three games behind first place Pennsylvania with only five regular season contests left to play.
