In those eight wins, the Crimson's average margin of victory was sixteen points. Harvard has fallen by an average of just three points in its trio of home losses.

Saturday night, in what will be the last game for former high school teammates Clemente and Parker, the Crimson will take on Cornell (7-18, 3-9 Ivy). The Big Red come to Cambridge following a weekend in which the team lost to Yale and dropped a heartbreaker to Brown, 67-65, after leading for all but four minutes. Cornell did, however, beat Princeton the weekend before to end a fifteen-game losing streak to the Tigers that spanned eight years.

Although he is not one to focus on individual goals, Clemente, the team's top scorer, at 18.3 points per game, and top rebounder, with 6.7 per outing, could add to his 1,437 career points, which already place him sixth all-time, and rise as high as fourth on the Harvard career list. Doing so would further the already impressive legacy he is poised to leave, which includes a school-record 212 three-pointers.

Two other records are in jeapordy this weekend, as well. Junior guard Andrew Gellert, with 68 steals on the year, needs just six to surpass the mark he established last year, while the team as a whole can break the 1996-1997 squad's mark of 188 three-pointers with three trifectas.

The focus of the weekend, though, will not be on numbers and records; instead, it will be on beating Columbia and Cornell. In addition to Clemente, the Crimson's chances at doing so will hinge greatly on the team's second-leading scorer, Pat Harvey, who averages 13.4 points per game, and sophomore guard Elliott Prasse-Freeman, who is leading the Ivy League in assists for the second consecutive season.

If Harvard is successful, however, it will honor Parker and Clemente in the most appropriate way: by sending them into the sunset with wins in their final collegiate games.
