The Crimson effectively defended against the three-point threat, a constant worry for teams playing against Dartmouth. The Big Green shot just 24 percent from beyond the arc, including a mere 1-of-10 in the last twenty minutes.
Dartmouth guard Greg Buth, who led the nation in three-point shooting percentage last year, was successful on only 1-of-7 trey attempts before fouling out.
Offensively, the Crimson received contributions from a host of players. In addition to Long's 11 points, junior center Tim Coleman chipped in with nine points, while Winter and Prasse-Freeman added eight apiece.
Regardless of how pretty it was, Saturday's victory has gotten Harvard's Ivy season off to as good a start as it could have hoped.
"It's always tough beating any team twice, but especially so in the Ivy League," Coleman said. "It's one of the hardest things to do."
