The Crimson worked around Davis on Friday, but benefited from her lack of playing time. The freshman has another three years in the Ivy League, however, to muscle her way past finesse.
The Crimson’s most difficult task was containing 6’3 freshman sensation Erica Davis. Davis had 17 points on 7-8 shooting, but Harvard managed to limit her touches and challenge her on defense.
Junior center Reka Cserny used her long reach and active feet to continually harass Davis, while Cserny’s offensive ability frustrated and exhausted the less conditioned Davis. Cserny drove to the basket, shot from outside and used the pick-and-roll on Davis as most NBA teams do...
When Cserny had to sit because of foul trouble, Lackner assumed defensive duties on Davis with the same intensity. Delaney-Smith used Lackner early and often to help stop Davis on Friday, though the freshman had previously averaged only 5.2 minutes over nine games.
“The reason I put her in a little more tonight is that she’s a very athletic, active, smart post defender and we needed to get around Erica Davis,” said Delaney-Smith.
