In response to Old Bear
Aiken shot 88.4% last season on FT's. Like Brown must do with Hunsaker and Cambridge, Harvard tries to inbound the ball to Bryce in intentional foul situations. Don't know if anyone noticed it, but after leaving the court with a twisted knee, Amaker inserted Bryce with 32 seconds left just to take the inbounds pass, hit 2 FT's and then be removed at the 30 second mark.
Old Bear, just when I was noticing that Harvard had held the vaunted Brown offense to 10 points in 10.5 minutes, I decided that it was much too soon to conclude that Brown had been contained. Brown went on to score 67 points in the final 29.5 minutes. Kudos to Brown's talented guards.
On the other hand, the two games against Dartmouth and the fast starts against Yale and Brown - all spearheaded by impressive defense, requires an intensity that's hard (impossible) to maintain throughout an entire game.
Good Luck to Brown the rest of the way (except for Feb 16th at Lavietes)
