Harvard frosh looked like they experienced "tired legs and possibly minds" Saturday night against Penn especially Towns after his brilliant performance Friday night. It could be that shooters simply had off nights. It could be that the Ivy back to back weekends have some effect on the younger guys as the season wears on as they simply have not experienced this type of schedule.
The other challenge for Amaker is getting the right guys on the court regarding match ups. Chambers and Aikens on the court together creates some real size mismatches if the opposing coach is smart enough to exploit. Chambers and Johnson and possibly Aikens and Johnson create some potential open 3 pt shots.
Final question might be how the freshmen react to a pressured environment this weekend. I am sure that the frosh have plenty of experience in facing high pressure situations in High School/AAU ball but this is different. It may be Yale's main hope.
