"We came out ready to play," Mitchell said. "We were trapping pretty well, and getting the rotations.
"Defenses need a rhythm, too. You have to know when to step up, when to gamble, when to trap. A lot of the traps we put on were not called, we just saw them at the right moment, and we stepped up and harassed them," Mitchell said.
While Dartmouth was struggling to break into the ten-point barrier, Harvard was having problems of its own. The Crimson did not score its tenth point until 8:03 left in the first half, when Mitchell buried a 19-footer from the wing.
Mitchell tied the game at 35 with a free throw, and then Leake made perhaps the play of the game when he harassed Crotty into committing a ten-second violation bringing the ball upcourt.
Mitchell was quickly fouled with 1:06 to play, but the captain drained both ends of a 1-and-1. Then, the defense took over. The best shot Dartmouth could manage on its next possession was an off-balance 17-foot heave by Conley which missed everything.
