"He talks like a senior, but he plays like a freshman," Lemons said of his prized recruit.
"We shot really well and controlled the tempo," said Harvard coach Frank McLaughlin, characteristically building the most positive case available for his team in the familiar aftermath of defeat. But last night, McLaughlin was justified in his praise--and in the disappointment that his squad fell just short.
But meanwhile, in the Harvard locker room, amid the disappointment, Calvin Dixon saw the other side of the coin, the brighter side for Harvard fans and players. "We proved we're a legitimate team," he said.
The half closed with the teams knotted at 42, but the fouls began to loom larger. Playing with three fouls in the second half, Mannix kept up the offensive pressure, finishing the game tied with Fleming at a team-high 18 points.
He took another superb outlet pass from Dixon that brought Harvard to within one, 54-53, but on the next play Fleming picked up foul number four with 12:26 left, and McLaughlin had to shuffle bodies for the remainder of the game.
