Bryce Aiken scores 44 points to carry Harvard over Columbia in triple OT ...

Junior Bryce Aiken scored 44 points — 1 point shy of Harvard’s single-game record — as the Crimson topped Columbia, 98-96, in three overtimes on Friday night at Lavietes Pavilion.

“It was the luckiest shot of my career,” said Bryce Aiken.
Every so often, an individual performance dazzles and stuns an audience, leading a team to victory seemingly beyond all obstacles. On Friday night, Aiken’s 44-point performance, one of the most incredible efforts seen in Harvard history, helped the Crimson cling to a 98-96 victory over Columbia in 3OT, in one of the greatest games ever played at Lavietes Pavilion.

“There is something to say about having the will just to keeping fighting and the will to win,” said Coach Tommy Amaker, on a game that was so compelling that it led the 11:00pm edition of ESPN’s Friday night SportsCenter. “It was just a sensational performance certainly by Aiken at the start. He put us on his back and carried us to the finish line.”

Columbia all but had it at the tail end of the first overtime, too. After sprinting out to a 77-71 lead with fewer than 50 seconds remaining, the Crimson (11-7, 4-1 Ivy) pulled off an incredible rally back to extend the contest for five more minutes. Accurate free throw shooting left Harvard down three with 4.3 seconds left. Aiken paced the ball up the court, as the Lions tried to foul intentionally, and was met by towering 6-foot-10 Lions junior Patrick Tapé. With only 1.6 seconds left, Aiken desperately heaved an off-balance, double-clutch shot and miraculously, it swished in as the buzzer sounded, to send the game to double overtime.
