It was a weekend of revenge for the Harvard men's basketball team.
After suffering losses to both Brown and Yale earlier in the season, the Crimson handed decisive defeats to both teams last weekend.
Coming off of a pair of losses to Ivy powers Penn and Princeton the weekend before, the Crimson (10-13, 5-5 Ivy) crushed the Bulldogs (7-16, 5-5), 70-51, Saturday night and beat the Bears (8-15, 4-6), 70-63.

"The biggest thing we did all night was shutting down Onaje Woodbine," Harvard coach Frank Sullivan said.
With a combination of tough man-to-man defense from sophomore guard Andrew Gellert and a stifling half-court zone the Crimson limited Woodbine to seven points on Saturday.
Woodbine is Yale's leading scorer, averaging 14.1 points per game. He dropped 28 points on Harvard during the first contest between the two teams this season.
