After Beatty’s first layup and a three-pointer by junior captain and small forward Jason Norman doubled the Crimson’s halftime advantage to 10 just 47 seconds into the second half, Draughan assisted on an Alex Gamboa three to halt Harvard’s mini-run.

The only other time the Crimson pushed its lead into double digits—on a layup by sophomore power forward Matt Stehle that made the score 46-36 3:22 after halftime—Draughan responded with a jumper in the lane and then a three to cut the Harvard advantage in half.

That sparked an 18-5 run that gave the Bulldogs a three-point lead with 11:10 to play. During the spurt, Draughan had 12 points, two assists, a steal that led to a three-point play and a block.

With one minute to play, Draughan finished a layup to cut the Crimson’s lead to two, but Jones was assessed a technical foul arguing a non-call when Draughan had a jumper blocked by sophomore point guard Michael Beal on the subsequent possession and Rogus converted the two free throws as Harvard iced the game.

Rogus’ biggest impact, though, came in the first half, when he took the court clearly fired up and got the Crimson on the board with a three-pointer on its first possession of the game to give it a 3-2 lead.

Two minutes and 24 seconds later, Rogus’ intensity cost him. He tried to draw a charge, but was called for a blocking foul. Rogus slammed his fist into the ground in frustration, drawing a technical.

But Rogus made up for it later in the half with consecutive three-pointers that gave Harvard its first tie since 3-3 at 24-24.

He finished with 22 points on 7-for-11 shooting and hit six of his 10 attempts from behind the arc.

“He shoots 30 percent from the arc,” Jones said. “You just need to make sure that he takes contested shots, and he didn’t take contested shots tonight. He took open shots, and he’s a Division I basketball player. He should make those.”
