Harvard-Penn is rated as among the Top 10 College Basketball Games this week by Pat Forde of Yahoo Sports in his article "Welcome, fans, to the best week of the season"
Forde mentions that this Friday "should be the Crimson’s toughest remaining game" in the remaining regular season..."
Any thoughts?

Our upcoming game should get some more national recognition, and as it is a critical game for us, it really should.

I think I agree with Pat Forde. My sense is that--on the whole--Penn's talent is more potent than Princeton's. I think Penn has a shot at this game... I think/hope it will be a good game.

I was just saying that I agree with Pat for including it in the top 10 College Games of the week. I think it will be a terrific game...

I agree that it's the toughest game remaining for Harvard. I expect the Quakers to win this game, probably a close one, but maybe more like the Cornell game of a couple of years ago.
We're just about as good as they are, we're playing better than they are, we're better coached and the inexperienced Ivy League ref's calls will go to the home team. We owe them one from last year and it will be the Harvard fans turn to whine about the officiating this week.

Sorry, I thought I was on the Penn board. Didn't mean to post this over here.

Well, you just provided some nice bulletin board fodder for the Harvard coaching staff.

If anyone just saw the Duke-NC game, I am still shaking from that conclusion. 13-2 run to end the game for Duke. What an unbelievable shooter that kid Austin Rivers (Doc Rivers'kid) is, and that final shot took nerves of steel. AND HE'S A FRESHMAN! Can't believe how Dook does this year in and year out.

What in the world was Zeller doing on the tip-in and also the end game defense? Talk about stealing a win. Great shot by the kid. Every other game of this group has been a classic so far.

Wait, is this the UNC/Duke board?
Nope, it's the Penn board, right?
Oops, it's the Harvard board. Unless my spelingg is off.
Just kidding, good points above, guys.
Why would Harvard fans complain, guys? I mean with calls like this, how could we ever complain?
P.S. I understand that Steve Bilsky and the Ivy League Supervisor of Officials have agreed to share a seat for Friday Night's game--Link .
