With no way to slow down their own offense by pounding the ball inside, Harvard was forced to speed its game up to match Brown’s quick-tempo attack, allowing it to comfortably dictate the pace of the contest. Sophomore Evan Harris, who looked like he was beginning to break out when he scored 18 points and hauled in 11 rebounds in a win against Cornell two weekends ago, had only five points on three shots.

That game went down to the final possession, with Yale hanging on by one in a heartbreaking loss for the Crimson...
