In the interim, Harvard had committed two fouls and surrendered four successful shots from the charity stripe.
Wagner had knocked down a three-pointer.
The Crimson had turned the ball over three times--and attempted zero shots.
“One problem was our rebounding,” Bell said. “And another was we didn’t get all the shooters. They were shooting real well from the three-point line and we just weren’t getting a hand up.”
The lead was never again extended beyond seven points and the stage was set for the dramatic finish.
