Before last weekends games I wondered who would guard Morgan and then Petracek. A cornerstone of Coach Amaker's game prep has often included matchups intended to shut down the opposition's leading offensive threat. Entering this season, it was unclear whether Harvard had a defensive stopper. At Columbia, Bassey shadowed Morgan, holding the league's leading scorer to 10 points on 3-8 shooting in 35 minutes. At Columbia, Baker entered the game in the first few minutes to guard Petracek. Although Baker only played 11 minutes, he contributed in limiting Petracek (Ivy's 5th leading scorer) to only 11 points on 3-9 shooting. The night before at Cornell, Baker's insertion on the backline of Harvard's zone was a key to Harvard's comeback victory. There remain troubling issues on defense, but this weekend saw some roles starting to emerge and the first extended use of a zone defense (final 10 minutes vs Cornell). |
