M. Basketball Journeys South on Ivy Road Trip to Brown and Yale

Clemente was recently named Ivy League Player of the Week for the period ending Feb. 10, and is averaging 18.9 ppg. He is second behind Hunt in the chase for the League scoring title.

Harvard was also able to force 22 turnovers in that meeting, and will look to pickpocket junior guard Drew Gellert to pressure the Bears' ballhandlers. Gellert's 3.1 steals per game is good enough for the Ivy lead, and rates fifth in the nation.

The third-place Crimson head from Providence to scenic New Haven for a matchup with the Elis on Saturday.

Yale (7-13, 4-3), fourth in the conference, will no doubt be fired up for Harvard after its dramatic double overtime victory over Columbia on Saturday night.

Freshman forward Scott Garfield put back an errant Bulldog shot as time expired to give Yale the victory, 80-78. A Columbia jumper tied the game at 78-78 with eight seconds remaining in the second extra period, but Garfield's field goal gave Yale the win.

Yale dropped its previous game to Cornell, as the Elis were out rebounded 39-25 and shot only 41 percent from the field.

In the teams' prior meeting, Yale found a way to edge the Crimson at home for an overtime win. Bulldog sophomore center Ime Archibong hit a driving layup with 22 seconds remaining to seal the game and sink Harvard. Archibong started the extra frame by hitting a three-pointer, sending Yale on a 7-3 run that the Crimson was never able to counter.
