After a crushing 54-48 loss at UVA last weekend, the Crimson (2-5, 0-0 Ivy) dropped its fourth straight game, 63-47, to Richmond (3-5) yesterday. Harvard fought mightily in a nail-biter at UVA, but erratic defense and ice-cold shooting from the perimeter spelled doom for the Crimson against the Spiders.
