Believe it or not, Brown comes into this match-up with the Crimson having won the last three meetings between the two teams. There aren't any hints from the Harvard game notes as to who the Crimson will have available for this one - if, as has been the case pretty much all season, they are missing their big men, I like our chances, especially in another practically empty gym, due to Harvard's attendance rules. I don't think this game is a must-win - though the Bears definitely need at least one win from this weekend - but a second H/D weekend sweep in as many seasons would make me feel a lot better about the season going forward. |

The Bears played poorly, to the tune of just 30pts, in the first half of their game in the Palestra last Sunday. They almost wriggled out of the hole they dug themselves with a stirring second half surge. If Brown hopes to win in Cambridge, it will have to play a full 40min at the same pace it played the second half against Penn. |

The Bears finally played a complete game and sealed the road win against a real quality opponent! A great feeling. But we need a win tomorrow night at Dartmouth to further out chances of making the league tourney. |

Tremendous statement game for Brown after opening loss at Penn. Don't think anyone will want to play them in Cambridge. They looked like they owned the place. |

Such an off brand game for Brown. An amazing win, but not a formula that we have much track record with. When is the last time Brown hit 15 3s? I always get nervous after ‘anomaly 3’ games. Lulls teams into shooting more of them, and while it was great tonight, they don’t shoot threes well enough to make it their focus. Take the win but don’t fall too hard for the three. Shift in the lineup tonight with Cowan back in the rotation and Meren out. Paid huge dividends. Someone told him keep shooting. He was the difference. Choh and Lilly again leading and nice to see Woj play a complete offensive game. Onto Hanover.

Woj hasn’t shot with such confidence and purpose since early in the season. Perhaps he was especially motivated going up against his brothers’ team. Whatever it was he should bottle it and maintain that level of play. Agree with Bruno that we, and many teams, won’t shoot threes like that each game. But the entire team played with confidence and determination. They should be able to approach each Ivy contest in the same manner. |

A good night for our best offensive performance of the season thus far, because defensively, we were not at our best - that's the first game we've won this season while allowing a point or more per possession, which is probably not going to be a formula for success moving forward. Nice to see Wojcik find his shot, but also a lot of fun to see Perry Cowan catch fire. At this point, seems like Choh and Lilly are going to be your two leading scorers and then you have to see who's gonna show up on a given night. Will be interesting to see what the energy is like tonight, against a Dartmouth team that should be fresh after their Friday game was postponed. |
