The sophomore point guard helped extend the Crimson’s lead to double digits on Harvard’s next possession, this time slicing into the lane and finding Wright under the basket for an easy two.

“When Brandyn’s aggressive and attacking, we think good things happen,” Amaker said. “Other guys like Kyle and Keith and these other guys get into a rhythm and flow.”

Curry finished the contest with 10 points and 10 assists—marking his second double-double of the weekend.

“We need pace to our game, and this guy is the catalyst for that,” Amaker said after the contest, pointing at Curry. “I think he was sensational all weekend.”

THE KING

While Curry closed out the contest, it was Casey who led the Crimson offense in the early going.

In 29 minutes of play, the 6’7” forward finished with 24 points—a season high.

“I thought [Casey’s] will was just absolutely outstanding,” Amaker said. “He put us on his back for quite a while out there on that floor offensively, just taking charge and leading the way for us and not allowing us to give in or let down.”

Casey finished 9-of-13 from the field, doing most of his damage off of mid-range jumpers. Casey also had success attacking the basket, getting to the charity stripe seven times.

The sophomore made his impact on the court despite being hampered by foul trouble throughout the night. Casey picked up his fourth foul with 8:34 to go in the contest and was relegated to the bench for the next five minutes of play.

Casey didn’t last long when he returned to the floor, fouling out with 1:35 to go.

But Casey certainly made his presence felt during his time on the court, adding four rebounds, a block, and an assist.
