After a layup from Lin with 9:33 left gave Harvard a 48-46 lead, McGeary nailed a three on the next possession to push the margin to five. After the hosts responded with a bucket, McNally nailed two free throws. He would add a three-pointer several possessions later after the Black Bears had clawed their way back within two to make the score 59-54 with 6:10 left. “The guys...
