Men's Basketball Rebounds From Loss, Tops Brown, 69-42

“I thought we had a great attention to detail,” Amaker said. “I thought we limited their three-point opportunities, which was key for us. I thought we chased them off the three if we could.”

Eight different Crimson players found the bottom of the net during the run with Casey and Moundou-Missi leading the way, posting five apiece.

Moundou-Missi sparked the run, hitting a free throw, and then finding Miller for an open three to put the Crimson up, 15-12. Webster continued the run, driving to the hoop before flipping a pass to Travis under the basket for an open dunk.

Back-to-back and-one layups from Casey and Saunders gave the Crimson its first double-digit lead of the game, 25-14, with 9:06 to play.

Harvard continued to pour it on, as Wright finished a layup off an entry pass from junior point guard Brandyn Curry (nine assists), and Webster collected a Moundou-Missi block near midcourt and took it the length of the court for an easy score.

Moundou-Missi put the Crimson up by 21, sticking a short jumper and a pair of free throws to give Harvard the 35-14 edge.

Brown’s Jean Harris stopped the bleeding by sticking a mid-range jumper, but Harvard went into the break leading by 21, 37-16, and its lead never dipped below 16 the rest of the way.

“It was a nice performance by our ball club,” said Amaker, whose squad won its 26th straight game at Lavietes Pavilion, good for the second longest current home winning streak in the nation. “We came ready to play.”
