...raced down court at the held of a four-on-two fast break. But his pass to Leo Scully under the basket bounced off Carozo's leg. The Penn captain grabbed the ball; moments later Jeff Neuman drove up the free throw lane through three Crimson players, made a layup and was fouled...

Princeton made one serious threat early in the fourth period. Trailing 64 to 40, they whittled Harvard's lead to 68-57 in two minutes.
