In response to mrjames
Harvard was very surprised to see backdoor cuts. And that was the difference in the game.
As for why Harvard was surprised to see a backdoor offense, your guess is as good as mine. I hear Princeton does those with some frequency.
As I recall, there was a UCLA team some years back that spent most of an NCAA tournament game watching, flatfooted, with stunned looks on their faces, as Princeton executed backdoor after backdoor. You had to wonder about that as well.
