Harvard closed out the win, making BU the second local rival that the Crimson has beaten this season. The squad upset Boston College, 82-81, in its first game.
Despite a 16-point Husky advantage at one point, the possibility for a Harvard victory was not out of the question. With 3:22 to go in the final half, freshman Christian Webster sank two free-throws to bring the Crimson to within five at 67-62.
With UConn star Jerome Dyson stalling out and co-captain Jeremy Lin returning to the court, Harvard looked poised to make a dramatic victory run, but the Big East powerhouse held on to deny Amaker’s squad a third major upset in as many years.
“That’s the best complement I can give him, that what you saw this afternoon out of him is who he is. I think he’s as good of a guard as there is,” Amaker added.
The Huskies halted the Crimson twice following two Lin steals in under a minute; Dyson blocked freshman Brandyn Curry’s attempt at a lay-up before guard Kemba Walker muscled out a defensive rebound after the second steal.
