In an action-packed contest that turned into a battle between the brothers Hinton, it was Cornell and older brother Adam prevailing over Harvard and younger brother Robert, 86-79, at Lavietes Pavilion Saturday afternoon.
“If you can’t get up for playing your younger brother …” the senior guard from Hollywood Hills, Calif. told ESPN+ after the game. “We keep track for bragging rights for whose got more wins. I’m up 2-1 [in head-to-head matchups] right now. I’ve got one more win on my best friend [Harvard senior guard] Chandler [Pigge] as well.”
After going winless in their first three Ancient Eight contests, the Big Red (9-9, 2-3 Ivy) won their second straight road contest and move into a three-way tie for fifth place with Columbia and Penn. The Crimson (10-9, 3-2), however, ended a three-game winning streak and dropped to their own three-way tie for second with Dartmouth and Princeton.
