“I don’t think we came out with a great deal of intensity to start the game,” Jones said. “But I thought we ended up giving a good effort. We caught them on a night when they made too many shots, and we gave them too many open looks.”
The Crimson finished the game with 17 assists and just 13 turnovers—its best assist-to-turnover ratio of the season. Beal led Harvard with six assists against only one turnover.
Rogus was the game’s high scorer with 22 points. He shot 6-for-10 from behind the arc, raising his three-point shooting percentage to 32.5 percent.
“It feels great,” Rogus said. “It’s frustrating not to be able to hit as many shots as you want, but you know it’s going to come around so you just have to keep going at it.”
Stehle finished one rebound away from a double-double, contributing 13 points and nine boards on the evening. Beatty added 11 points and three rebounds, all in the second half.
