In response to HARVARDDADGRAD

I didnâ€™t see the Dartmouth game either but as stated, the stat sheet tells the story.

I attended the Harvard game and Amaker really outcoached Earl. Harvard had them scouted and took away most everything they like to do.

Harvard made it really difficult for the initial entry pass to the high post to either Warren or Dickson. Just going back door once or twice would have loosened them up but CU just moved farther out to catch the pass and it threw off all the timing.
Harvard blew up a lot of the dribble hand-off action and just got Cornell out of sync.

Dickson has shown some promise but having him 25 feet from the basketball and asking him to thread the needle on a bounce pass vs. a very athletic big is not a good look.

Harvardâ€™s offense is fun to watch, Cornellâ€™s not so much.

As someone posted before, Knapp has had a good season but Harvard had seen enough film to know that he takes one dribble and shoots. Harvard blocked 2-3 of his shots just anticipating the pull-up. He just couldnâ€™t get much going.

It would be great if they could get a split this weekend but it will be tough.
