Harvard's big men also neutralized the threat created by the Huskies' 6'10 center George Aygar. After a first-half interior defense that Prasse-Freeman described as "porous", Mayshak, sophomore forward Sam Winter and even 10th man Brian Sigafoos, a 6'10 JV call-up, got tough and won the battle of the paint.
