I NEED ASSISTANCE

The Crimson has logged an assist-to-turnover ratio above one in each of the past three games, after accomplishing the feat just four times in its first 22 contests.

The most impressive performance of the season came Friday night against Yale. Harvard racked up 23 assists on the contest, while committing just 11 turnovers.

“It was one of our better [assist-to-turnover ratios],” Sullivan said. “I was reluctant to talk about it because I didn’t want to jinx the whole thing, and I’m reluctant to talk about it with the players as well.”

The Crimson just managed to keep the streak going Saturday night, posting 15 assists to 14 turnovers.

In the seven games in which Harvard has managed to post an assist-to-turnover ratio above one, the squad is 6-1 with its only loss coming at home against Cornell on Feb. 19.

THREE-POINT PLAY

The weekend Ivy sweep was the Crimson’s first since 2002, when it defeated Cornell and Columbia at home. The last time Harvard swept a weekend by winning both games by double-digits came against Brown and Yale in 1999...With the wins, the Crimson remains in a three-way tie for second place with Cornell and Dartmouth. Harvard would need to win just one of its final two league games to guarantee a winning Ivy record for the first time in eight seasons and would need to take both in order to claim its first winning season overall since 2002...The last time the Crimson scored 80 or more points in two consecutive games came in 2003, when the Harvard put up exactly 82 and 80 against Yale and Brown, respectively, in two home losses to end the season.
