What a half of basketball. We're up 49-46, both teams are shooting lights out. We've done a great job not only taking care of the ball against their press, but also punishing them for it, looking for easy buckets early on.
Pigge has really been coming on for us. He defends, gets to loose balls, and is managing to be both smart and aggressive out there on offense. He's a big time spark that we need.

Huge, huge win. Couldn’t afford to drop another one at home. Ajogbor made things tougher for them inside and wasn’t a liability on the perimeter either. The biggest thing, though, was that Ledlum just took over and willed us to the win around the 5 minute mark. Wasn’t looking good before that.
We did a tremendous job against their pressure too.

Live or die by the 3?
Harvard in conference .362
No stong pattern except really poor shooting (Yale) or really exceptional shooting (Cornell) can be be decisive in otherwise close contests.
@Princeton (L 66-69) 3's: 9/24 = .375
@Brown (W 70-68) 3's: 8/23 = .348
@Yale (L 54-58) 3's: 9/35 = .257
Columbia (W 73-51) 3's: 8/21 = .381
Dartmouth (L 59-60) 3's: 6/17 = .353
Cornell (W 95-89) 3's: 10-18 = .556
Maybe FT's?
Harvard in conference .677.
FT shooting vs Princeton really hurt (missed 9, lost by 3), while FT shooting vs Cornell really helped.
@Princeton (L 66-69) FT's: 7/16 = .418
@Brown (W 70-68) FT's: 8/11 = .727
@Yale (L 54-58) FT's: 9/11 = .818
Columbia (W 73-51) FT's: 5/9 = .556
Dartmouth (L 59-60) FT's: 13/20 = .650
Cornell (W 95-89) FT's: 21-26 = .806
