In response to mobrien
At the under 8 first half timeout Harvard was up 29-20, mostly because Lesmond was 4-4 on 3’s. Ajogbor (2 fouls) and Pigge (3 fouls) were sitting out the remainder of the half. Okpara took over, scoring 11 points in under 4 minutes. Penn, on the other hand, tried to run everything through Spinoso. The defensive combination of Batties, Ace-Nasteski, and Okpara held Spinoso to one basket, about 4 missed shots, and what seemed like a couple of TO’s. Despite Spinoso trying to back in the entire game, he was never effective enough to draw a double team. This allowed Harvard to defend the perimeter, limiting Penn’s 3 point opportunities.
In what was a 6 minute span late in that half, Harvard grew a 29-20 lead to 46-25. That’s where, in my opinion, Harvard won the game.
