NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) Chris Lewis had 16 points and 11 rebounds on Friday night and Harvard survived a late challenge to beat Yale 54-52.
Justin Bassey made a trio of free throws with 2:11 left to give the Crimson (8-10, 3-0 Ivy League) a 52-49 lead. After two scoreless minutes, the Bulldogs (8-11, 1-2) had the ball in the final seconds with a chance to tie. Miye Oni missed a 3-point attempt with five seconds left and Harvard's Seth Towns secured the rebound.
