“I think that put the nail in the coffin,” he said. “That’s just what Norman does best.”
Rogus was rock steady off the bench for the Crimson, scoring nine points in 21 minutes.
“Kevin has really begun to find his stroke,” Sullivan said. “He’s playing much better ball.”
Rogus went 3-for-4 from behind the arc, leading the Crimson’s three-point shooting effort. Harvard shot 38 percent from downtown, as three-pointers were the Crimson’s primary legitimate threat.
Vermont forward Mike Goia hit 5-of-8 trifectas, including three in the last 1:02 to force the Crimson to make its free throws.
“Goia’s a good player,” Sullivan said “His range is phenomenal.”
But despite Goia and the rest of the Catamounts’ best efforts, the Crimson rolled to an easy victory.
“We played balanced ball tonight,” Sullivan said. “It wasn’t always perfect, but we’re on a roll.”
