Saturday's 72-63 loss to Northeastern showed that without an offensive threat like Clemente to go to in the late stages, the Crimson (4-5, 0-1 Ivy) will have a tough time mounting comebacks or keeping leads. Clemente's 21.2 points per game and clutch three-point shooting often made up for other Harvard mistakes...

Even though they had been outrebounded all day, with 2:06 to go the Huskies got three straight offensive rebounds which took 1:21 off the clock and left the Crimson with almost no time left to overcome the deficit. Hammick had two of those rebounds, including one off his own shot...
