Sophomore Christian Webster earned All-Ivy honorable mention status after averaging 13.0 points per contest. Fellow wing Laurent Rivard had an impressive freshman season and averaged 11.0 points, and McNally added 10.1 points per game while finishing second in the nation in free-throw percentage.
“We got out and ran and were patient and unselfish with the ball on offense,” McNally said. “[And] we were a tough defensive team.”
The Crimson returns its entire roster in 2011-2012 and is expected to be the heavy favorite to make its first Big Dance since 1946.
“We didn’t finish the season like we wanted to,” freshman guard Matt Brown said. “We wish things had gone another way, but we’re already right back in the gym and ready to achieve new levels of success next year.”
Though that success will have to wait, nothing can take away one fact.
For the first time ever, Harvard was a champion.
