NOTEBOOK: Turnovers, Poor Three-Point Shooting Doom Crimson in Loss to Penn

COUGHING IT UP

The Crimson turned in one of its worst offensive performances on Saturday, posting 54 total points, matching its third-lowest total output of the year.

Harvard shot just 1.9 percentage points below its season average against Penn (44.4 percent versus 46.3 percent), but struggled connecting from beyond the arc and holding onto the ball.

The Crimson went 2 of 11 from deep and turned it over 20 times, three more than its previous high and nearly eight more than its season average.

“That definitely hurt us a lot,” said Curry of the team’s turnovers. “That was definitely key and a big reason why we ended up losing.”
