“[Rogus is] a lefty, and left-handed players usually have weird shots,” Barns said. “In the second half, I just had to come out and basically deny him the ball.”
“[Rogus] is a very good player when he gets [the ball],” Everhart added. “So we just kept him from getting it.”
Friday night’s game was the fourth straight in which Harvard failed to shoot above 40 percent from the field, a stretch during which it has averaged 50.5 ppg.
Streakin’ It
Entering the game, both teams had recently fared poorly against the other’s conference. Northeastern had lost five straight games to Ivy opponents and the Crimson has now dropped five in a row to those from the America East.
Harvard has also earned the dubious distinction as the team to have played the most games in Division I basketball and still not won. The Crimson is one of just eight winless Division I teams.
