As it turned out, however, Princeton was not a very good measuring stick. The Elis may have taken five matches against the Tigers, but they couldn't muster a single victory against Harvard.
While the women's dominant victory over Yale was somewhat expected, the men entered last night's tilt with the Elis with a much taller order.
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.
Yale's Chris Leanza and Scott Gaffield then hit back-to-back threes to put the Elis up seven. Harvard would never get as close as it had and Yale went on a 22-9 run in the next eight minutes to put the game out of reach.
Fatigue may have been a contributing factor in Harvard's poor shooting percentage and its failure to control the glass. The Crimson finished at just under 33 percent from the field and was out rebounded 43-39 by the Elis.
