...game against Northeastern (2-5, 1-0 America East) was the type of game Harvard has to win this season to gain any type of success. After coming off an emotional victory in its first Ivy League game against Dartmouth, the Crimson was unable to muster the same type of second-half intensity on Saturday when the Huskies didn't roll over like the Green did. Northeastern seemed to be easier bait, a non-conference team with one win and a losing history against Harvard (Harvard leads the series...
...Instead, Northeastern's experience up front, in the form of 6'10 junior center George Aygar and forward Tyrone Hammick, outlasted the Harvard offense. The Huskies finished with 11 blocks and 24 defensive rebounds...

He continually impressed with no-look bounce passes inside that led to easy lay-ups, and while he made some ballhandling errors late in the second half, Sullivan said he isn't worried...

Northeastern stayed pretty even in the first half, only down six at halftime, but the jump shot became their best friend in the second half. The Huskies shot 65.4 percent from the field in the second half. Guard Terry Kringe led all scorers with 19 points on 5-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc. Jean Bain scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half, including a sequence in the second half where he scored nine straight points to give Northeastern the lead...
