Game 324 - Yale at Harvard

February 24 at Lavietes Pavilion in Cambridge, MA
The Ivy League Digital Network

I would imagine Yale has seen all it wants to of Bryce Aiken.

The Harvard freshman had his way with the Bulldogs once again, scoring 22 points and handing out five assists in the hosts' 77-64 victory.

In a pair of victories over Yale this season, the 6-0 guard has averaged 24.5 points and knocked down 10 of his 18 three-point attempts (55%), including 5-of-8 in Friday's win. Aiken wasn't alone as fellow classmate Seth Towns poured in 18 points, while the upperclassmen, namely seniors Zena Edosomwan (15 points, 7-of-9) and Ivy League assist leader Siyani Chambers (seven assists on Friday) got in on the fun as well.

Harvard moved to 9-2 in conference play with its fifth consecutive win. Both teams are trying to stay in the top part of the standings (Harvard is currently second, Yale third) and earn a spot in the league's first-ever postseason tournament, a four-team event March 11-12 at The Palestra.

Harvard may have the talent, led by Aiken, to topple still-unbeaten at 11-0 Princeton. The Tigers slithered away with a 57-56 victory in Cambridge on February 4, with the rematch set for March 3 in New Jersey.
