“They’re a good combination,” Jones said. “They bring a lot of energy to the floor, especially defensively and getting in lanes.”
Harvard—which had committed just two turnovers in the game’s first 11 minutes—turned the ball over 11 times over the next nine, leading to 13 points.
“They were without their point guard and their offense struggled a little bit and we were able to get out in transition and get some easy baskets,” Jones said.
Giovacchini committed his only five turnovers of the night in just 4:40 and didn’t record a point, rebound, assist or steal in the last 11:13 before halftime—a far cry from how he opened the game.
