- The season remains young, with a challenging series of road games looming in the non-conference portion of the schedule. As the Crimson look to establish its identity without juniors Aiken and Seth Towns, the team will have to continue to correct the little mistakes.
Through two games, Harvard has struggled to control these errors, from offensive rebounding and turnovers against MIT, to foul trouble and perimeter defense against the Huskies. Amaker and the Crimson will hope to improve in these areas, and solidify the foundation of what Harvard hopes will be an Ivy Championship-winning season. -

- Northeastern’s game plan to spread the floor and wait for open shots was the deciding factor down the stretch, leading to the Huskies’ third win in the last four meetings with the Crimson.
Harvard may have been without key players Seth Towns and Bryce Aiken, but head coach Tommy Amaker wasn’t making any excuses following the loss.
“We should’ve played better to give ourselves a chance to win, and we just did not do that,†he said, adding that some of the newcomers will need time to adjust in elevated roles and learn to “get out of their own way†on the defensive end. -
- Amaker knows that all too well how critical this game was, not just because of what’s to come but for some city bragging rights.
Defensive intensity is always top of mind for Harvard, however after Friday, it’s clearly priority number one. The ‘Lets Go Huskies!’ chant ringing through Lavietes Pavilion as the buzzer sounded won’t be forgotten by this Harvard team anytime soon. Mid-major hoops runs deep in Boston. If that’s not enough motivation heading onto the road, I don’t know what is. -
