No. 24 Harvard Men's Basketball Rips Dartmouth, 54-38

Several minutes later, Casey came off a screen to slam home a two-handed jam—his first points of the game—to give Harvard a double-digit lead for the first time on the night.

Two possessions later, Miller hit a smooth triple from the left wing off a pass from Wright.

Following a Big Green turnover, Miller nailed a long jumper off the dribble to grant Harvard a 41-26 advantage with 8:55 left in the game.

Returning to action after missing two straight games with a hip injury, Webster came off the bench and had eight points on three-of-four shooting from the field.

Webster’s former backup, sophomore Laurent Rivard, started for the third consecutive matchup and also picked up eight points.

The Crimson led, 23-16, at intermission after a first half in which the two squads combined for 21 turnovers.

Unable to convert multiple up-close looks, Harvard shot 35 percent from the field—its second-worst first-half shooting performance of the year—and had three free throw attempts in the period.

“We didn’t finish,” Amaker said. “We didn’t make a ton of baskets that we thought we should have made, especially around the goal.”

Dartmouth did not fare much better, as only three of its players scored in the first half.

The Big Green went 6-of-20 (30 percent) from the floor and reached the free throw line once.

The Crimson will look to preserve its undefeated Ivy League record when it visits Yale and Brown this coming weekend.
