Johnnies use size to sink Crimson

The Johnnies scored 42 of their 77 points in the game and had 20 second chance points to 6 from Tommy Amaker’s team.

“We were simply inferior on the backboard. They are a great length and size. “That’s been an Achilles’ heel for our team this season,” the Crimson coach said. “They brought it to us to a certain extent. … We need to figure out how to do a better job there.”

Junior guard Chandler Piggé scored a team-high 15 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists for Harvard (2-6), starting 9-0 and 24-8. Trailing by 12 at halftime and 18 in the second, the Crimson got within 63-55 with 5:40 to play, but only made three field goals the rest of the game.
