As long as we have Bryce, we always have a chance. Against Columbia, Kenpom gave us a 6.2% win probability in the first overtime; against Penn, a 3.1% WP in the final minute of regulation; and against Yale, a 2.4% WP when we were down 7 with a few minutes left. It seems like we're always down 5 or 6 points with a few minutes (if that) left ... and, more often than not, we pull it out. Didn't work at Brown, mostly because Okolie was able to frustrate Bryce, but otherwise he's just been amazing. If you have a chance to go see him in person, do it. |

Anyone notice that Henry Welsh did not play last night? The more athletic Mason Forbes got the start over Lewis and played 24 minutes. Djuricic played 27 minutes. Very small Harvard lineup vs. a bigger squad in Yale. Size of Kirkwood, Catchings and Bassey allows for versatility as Harvard still outrebounded Yale 32-26. When Chris Lewis was inserted he did do damage in the post for a few possessions. Forbes has some nice skills and is a shot blocker, but he needs to develop a consistent offensive game. Too bad up and down Crimson dropped those 3 tough games or they'd be ahead of Yale due to tie breakers. Like last year, Harvard could catch Yale and then play at Yale as the #1 seed. Consolation is that regular season champion is handed a spot in the NIT. Yale might get one as an at large anyway but Harvard may not. |

Where would we be without Bryce? Is he the Ivy POY? He's averaged 28.5ppg over the last 6 games. Does anyone know if Ivy awards are based on conference play or entire slate? |

I think it's supposed to be Ivy League only but I have to believe the entirety of the season influences the thinking. That said, Aiken has to be the leading candidate given his accomplishments. Harvard likely loses 3-4 more league games without him. |

Cardiac Crimson. Never thought I'd be typing that. |
