this team is frustrating. they look like one of the better teams in the league one night then go out and lose to unh the next. harvard missed a pair of fts at the end of regulation that could have sealed the w. both both missed and unh banked in a lucky 3 to send it to ot. but harvard never should have been in a position to need two fts like that anyway. not against unh.

Apparently UNH is way better than normal this year. Maybe some of the Vermont glow is rubbing off on them.
Cusworth had another solid game. They have to start getting the ball to him more though. 18 points on 10 shots and 5 blocks is pretty solid. He needs to stay out of foul trouble though- Harvard needed him in OT.
I think foul trouble is going to be an achilles heel of harvard this year. With such a majority of their talent down low, if someone quick gives them problems, this team is in trouble.
That, and the fact that they still don't have solid guard play, and thats what wins games in college.

yeah, it's really bad. UNH is getting better and better now every year (similar to football).

Agreed - it was a very close game and UNH is 4-2 this year, and is capable of winning games.
The loss to Maine isn't something to be too bent out of shape over either. Maine beat URI and narrowly lost to Bethune Cookman.
There's no doubt this team needs to learn to win, but at least they've been in every game this season - which is an improvement over last season's non-conference performance.

oh yes, it's true again. now they have a better schedule than last year's - very suitable for them.
