League contests (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After helping the No.
23 Harvard men's basketball team to two road victories at
Yale and Brown, Steve Moundou-Missi has been tabbed the Ivy League
Rookie of the Week, the conference office announced Monday.
Moundou-Missi, who hails from Yaounde, Cameroon, becomes the
third Crimson player to be named Ivy Rookie of the Week this
season, joining Corbin Miller (Jan. 23) and Jonah Travis (Dec.
5).
In Harvard's 65-35 victory at Yale, Moundou-Missi tallied 10
points, as he made five field goals, while grabbing five rebounds
and making three steals. The 30-point victory marked the widest
margin of victory in the series history against the Bulldogs.
Moundou-Missi followed that performance by collecting a career-high
10 rebounds, scoring six points and blocking two shots in the 68-59
win at Brown Saturday.
Moundou-Missi and the Crimson will return home to host Cornell
and Columbia Feb. 3-4. Both games are slated for 7 p.m. starts at
Lavietes Pavilion. Harvard, which has won six straight games, is
off to a 4-0 start in conference play and stands at 18-2
overall.
