However, the Big Red did not take another shot, and the game ended with Harvard still up by ten.

Throughout the game, Flynn shot 8-for-18 from the field, missing eight three-pointers and taking far more shots than any of Harvard’s players. As a team, the Crimson shot 44 percent against Cornell’s 30 percent, a large part of the reason for Saturday night’s victory. Harvard took six fewer shots than Cornell but drilled six more.

Both teams struggled from outside the arc, going a combined 6-for-35. Harvard has especially been struggling recently from the three-point line; all of the nine games in which the Crimson shot above 40 percent came before mid-January, and the team has shot 10.5 percent and 20 percent in its last two games.

“We haven’t shot well in a long time,” Delaney-Smith said. “I think it is just the law of averages now.”

This was Harvard’s sixth victory in a row, marking an end-of-season surge that coincides with the beginning of the postseason. Still left on the Ivy schedule is a final showdown for the Crimson with Columbia, and a battle of the Killer P’s, Penn and Princeton, both on Tuesday night.

“I think Penn is going to have their work cut out for them playing Princeton…and Columbia, though you never take anyone lightly…we just played them and I feel good [about Tuesday’s game],” Delaney-Smith said.
