Already sporting wins in two of the four Ivy gyms beginning with the letter "L," Cornell takes its fast-paced road show into another of the Ivy's four L-named venues Saturday.
Harvard is much more dangerous than their modest (2-3, 11-8 overall) record and position in the standings suggests. They are eleven points from leading the league outright, yet just three points from sharing the cellar with the Lions.
Ivy POY candidate Chris Ledlum is healthy and averaging 19Pts+9R per game. A capable cast of six others each puts about ~5-7Pts and 2-5R every game. On any given night, things can and will come together for the Crimson.
Cornell uses its relentless pace and long bench to wear down its opponents. Lopsided second half runs keyed their wins over Dartmouth, Penn, and Yale. The Crimson can expect more of the same. The outcome will depend on how they handle it. Maybe 10-12 quality minutes from a couple of Harvard's backbenchers will make the difference. The Tigers already showed Cornell can be beaten.
