“I put a lot of work in during the offseason and during practice,” Chambers said of his success from downtown. “Give a lot of credit to Wes and the other guys, though, who were finding me when I was open.”

Don’t Wake A Sleeping Giant

While Harvard poured in 42 points in the first half, only five of those points could be attributed to senior Wesley Saunders. Saunders, who has led the Crimson in scoring the past two seasons, looked as if he could finish the game with no points and still be content.

A team-first mentality was evident in the reigning Ivy League Player of the Year, who grabbed eight rebounds in the first half and dropped six dimes on the night, including a beautiful interior pass to senior Jonah Travis for a monster two-handed jam.

Despite a 15-point lead at the half, the game still felt close. The Engineers came out of the break firing and energetic, hoping to make a run and practically begging Saunders to take over the game. He did just that.

In a blur, Saunders poured in 10 points beating his man off the dribble with ease. The senior had no trouble getting to the exact spots on the floor that he wanted and, from there, was able to either hit his trademarked fade away off the spin or draw the foul.
