Sullivan had an easy explanation for disparity in points off turnovers--Brown's 36 to Harvard's 17--and the 20-12 edge the Bears held in second-chance points.

"When we didn't shoot the ball well, we didn't help ourselves in any regard--didn't take care of the ball, didn't get rebounds, and didn't get stops," Sullivan said.

The two losses drop Harvard to 5-5 in the Ivies, good for a tie with Columbia for fifth place. Yale and Brown both swept the weekend, and surprisingly Yale sits in a three-way tie for first with Penn and Princeton. While mathematically not out of the title chase, the Crimson's chances are slim.

"History will tell us that in the '90s, the champions in the Ivy League had either zero losses or one loss, and in the '80s it was three losses, occasionally four. For the most part, four losses is not going to do it in the end," Sullivan said after the Brown loss.

Coupled with the Yale loss, a three-game losing streak and Penn and Princeton on the road this weekend, even four straight wins may not do it in the end for the Crimson.
