Big game coming up in Providence Friday. If Harvard loses it could find itself at 4-4 at the end of the weekend and in a battle for 4th place. At Yale Saturday will be tough.
Last weekend's games were interesting. Harvard got off to a characteristic slow start vs Penn and a zone on Friday, falling behind 19-4 as Penn hit 8 of first 10 shots. Harvard, led by Chambers, pushed the pace and then dominated 65-40 thereafter. Zena totally thwarted Brodeur and Lewis handled him well after the first few minutes.
Saturday was quite a contest. Princeton had obviously scouted the prior night and dropped back on defense quickly to force Harvard into a half court offense. Princeton's 3 centers brought nothing - literally, 0 points and 0 rebounds in a combined 32 minutes. Weisz, Stephens, Cook and Bell shot well enough from 3. Zena and Bryce limited by foul trouble. Bottom line: Harvard broke through to seemingly win the game but then game it away. Tournament is going to be interesting.
