In only his second game back after suffering what originally appeared to be a season-ending injury with a detached retina, Clemente led the Crimson in scoring with 24 points and nine boards while shooting 6-of-10 from downtown.

More impressively, Clemente took control of the game at times and was easily the most talented player on either team.

It was an auspicious beginning to the night for Clemente, however, who did not score a point until the seventeenth minute of the first half when he rattled off 10 straight points for the Crimson to end the first half.

"Dan and Damian had an excellent rhythm both nights," Sullivan said. "Dan is one of our major three-point threats, and having him back helped us out tremendously."

Fortunately for Harvard, Long was equally proficient from beyond the arc.

Collecting 20 points on the evening, the captain did most of his damage from the outside, sinking 6-of-9 three-point attempts.

On the strength of strong long distance shooting, Harvard appeared to be in control of the game from the outset.

Leading 44-36 midway through the second half, however, things started to unravel for the Crimson.
