Before last Saturday's loss, the Crimson (6-4) had won three straight, including an impressive 74-71 victory over La Salle in the consolation game of the ECAC Holiday Festival, and a convincing 24-point win over Rhode Island.
The Crimson (6-4) was outrebounded on the offensive end 20-9, and Northeastern star Tesha Tinsley netted 18 points to lead the Wildcats (5-5), 16 in the second half. Harvard, on the other hand, managed just 7-of-28 shooting in the second frame.
After starting 3-0, the Crimson has lost five of its last six and is looking for someone--or a few people--to replace Clemente's 21 points per game and help the Crimson offense down the stretch.
In its most recent game, the Crimson fell 72-63 to Northeastern despite leading by as much as seven points in the second half. Besides the gaping hole in the offense, the Crimson's other problems seem to be a lack of stamina in a young rotation.
With four gams over the holiday, Harvard will have a chance to figure things out and head into January with some sense of direction.
