Though the Harvard offense slowed in the second half, the Crimson’s defense grounded Brown’s to a halt. In the second half the Brown Bears were held to 28 points on 9-of-27 shooting from the field and 0-of-11 from deep. Coming into the game, Brown’s was averaging 75 points per game—the best mark overall on the season within the conference.

“Were very deep on the bench, when we sub guys in we don’t drop, we don’t lose anything,” Chambers said. “That really allows us to keep our pace up on offense and defense and it gives us that advantage to, in our opinion, wear teams down on the defensive end. We grind and then we can sub in five or six new guys.”

Edosomwan finished the game with eight points and 11 rebounds while Towns added 16 and eight boards.

“It was a great team win,” Chambers said. “We did what we wanted to do. What I would say is it was very enjoyable to be able to be out there with those guys. We’ve been here a long time, we’ve seen a lot of things, done a lot of things, and to be able to spend that time on the floor together it was great. But that wouldn’t have meant anything to us if we didn’t do what we were supposed to do so I think it means a lot more to us that we were able to play how we played no matter of who was on the floor and that we were able to come out with a victory against a tough team.”
