Tigers 2 1/2 pt underdog. Hagan is a tough place to play and Tigers had trouble shooting 2 years ago -- rims and lighting plus Martelli's teams tend to be tough and very athletic. Hawks destroyed Tigers on the boards last year at Jadwin -- low point of the season. This year's team had a strong preseason ranking and Martelli was very optimistic, unusual for him, preseason.
Hawks suffered two bad injuries to two of their four best players game #1. Best player is Demery, a 6'5" Myles Stephens type player and Newkirk, SG, who is coming off a ACL injury after averaging 20 pts a game last year. Biggest surprise is 6'9" freshmen 3 pt shooter (8 in 2 games).
With all that said, Tigers have a good shot to win based on match ups. Question is do they bounce back from BYU game. Game is now on A-10 TV.
Opportunity for Harvard and Tigers today to get 2 wins against good, not great teams, on the road. Are they up to the challenge? Let's hope.
