Harvard Sets Non-Conference Wins Record in Easy Victory

“We really played exactly how we practice,” Wright said.

Garcia had 19 points, but his efforts were thwarted by the production of Casey and Wright. The freshman matched Garcia’s offense with 19 points of his own, and Wright finished with 16 points and three blocks.

Those two nearly cancelled out the scoring of the Redhawks’ top two scorers: Garcia and Chris Gweth, who scored 17 points. But the Crimson had Lin, who once again led the way with 21 points, four steals, two rebounds, and three assists.

“He was just Jeremy today,” Curry said. “It’s not surprising, it’s not unusual for him, it’s kind of expected. He’s a great player, one the best playmakers in the country.”

Harvard also got production on the perimeter from freshmen Christian Webster, who had 12 points and five assists, and Curry, who had seven points to go with a game-high six assists.

“It’s my job to find the open man,” Curry said. “That’s the other part of getting assists…[My teammates] were making baskets.”

With the victory, the Crimson set a new team record for non-conference wins. Harvard will look to extend that record in its final non-league matchup tomorrow at Santa Clara.
