In response to sparman
As you point out, the Tigers have not enjoyed success in Cambridge over the past six years -- very tough environment for them. It will be interesting to see if the seniors respond to the challenge in playing Amaker's young and still developing team. I am sure that Henderson has carefully studied the Crimson's uneven performances at Cornell and Columbia and how to attack Harvard's defense which will probably hold the key to the game. Penetration and ball movement seems to work although as always, players need to knock down shots.
It would have been helpful to have Brase on the boards as Harvard will have the rebounding edge.
To different degrees, both teams have not reached expectations to date but this game is a good measuring stick as to where they are. The Tigers may be a 2 pt favorite depending on what happens Friday night. As a Tiger fan, I almost hope that the Crimson win Friday night as Princeton could be facing a desperate team on Saturday if they lose to Penn.
