NEW HAVEN, CT., PROVIDENCE, R.I.-- Parity is emerging in Ivy League men's basketball, but so far it isn't helping the Harvard Crimson.
Only a week after defeating defending conference champions Penn and losing a squeaker to Princeton at home, the Crimson (12-10, 5-5 Ivy) found itself regressing in the league, dropping two on the road to Brown (11-11, 5-4) and Yale (9-13, 6-3).
On Friday, in Providence, Harvard continuously shot itself in the foot with turnovers and poor rebounding in a 90-82 loss to the streaking Bears. Saturday night was more of the same, as horrific shooting and timely mistakes cost the Crimson in a 66-58 loss at Yale.
Yale 66, Harvard 58
On Saturday in New Haven, Yale didn't need overtime.
Instead, the Elis capitalized on the entire Crimson squad's anemic shooting and used a 22-9 run in the second half to turn the game from a nail-biter to a snoozer.
Four of Yale's starters scored double figures, including center Neil Yanke, whose 18 points led all scorers.
