Certainly Manhattan, Fordham, Columbia, Princeton and Penn. Maybe Kentucky, but unlikely.
California tournament should be great for those of you out there. Tough draw in first round (St. Mary's). Since when does the fifth highest ranked team in the field play the top seed in the first round? There are 3 teams ranked around 250 or below. Remember reading a journalist thinking that these are the best two teams in the tournament.
Harvard owes St. Mary's from 2012-13. Harvard led the entire game and by as much as 18, holding a 69-68 lead in the waning seconds. Someone missed a last second free throw and, on a ridiculous call, the home cooked officiating called a Harvard player for an over the back foul on the rebound with 1.1 seconds left. I almost never assign a victory to the officials, but this call decided the game. You got it, a rebounding foul 90 feet away, up by a point with a second remaining. Anyway, of course St. Mary's was in the bonus and made the two free throws to win 70-69.
This was the squad without Casey and Curry and the game was played at St. Mary's. Harvard did an amazing job on Dellavedova (yes - that Dellavedova), holding him to 4 points on 1-13 shooting.
Saunders, Chambers, Rivard and Webster played almost the entire game, while Travis was a beast with 19 points in 24 minutes.
PAYBACK TIME!
