Curry also came through in the clutch for his team, draining a three pointer with 1:15 remaining in the second half to put his team ahead for the first time in more than 14 minutes.

With Harvard trailing 50-48, Lin found Curry open in the corner. Without hesitation, Curry let the shot fly—and it was pure.

With the three ball, the Crimson grabbed its first lead since it held a 33-31 edge with 14:52 remaining.

But two free throws from Schroeder on Princeton’s next possession put the Tigers back on track, and Harvard’s inability to convert on its final three possessions doomed the visiting team.

“In a game like this, [on] every possession you’ve got to come away with something,” Curry said. “They just came away with a couple more good possessions than we did.”

If the Tigers defeat Penn tomorrow, Princeton will capture sole possession of the second spot in the Ivy League. A Tigers victory would mark the first time that the Ancient Eight has fielded three teams with 20-win seasons.

But with Cornell locking up the Ivy’s automatic bid this weekend with its win over Brown, the postseason fates of both Harvard and Princeton will rest in the hands of the postseason selection committee.

“We’re hopeful that we’ll have more opportunities to play,” Amaker said. “We would love to have a chance to be in the postseason...I think that would be a tremendous honor.”

“We had a great season,” Curry added. “Like coach said, we’re trying to see what our postseason chances are but we definitely feel good about our overall season.”
