Really a shame as it appears (and I understand) that Harvard tried but couldn't schedule any tougher games at home. Unfortunately, there is no Holiday Tournament either.
I'm still hopeful that there may be a stiff test scheduled beyond the games at UMass, BC and Stanford (China).

You probably know better, but Houston battled for the league crown, finishing a game behind SMU and two behind Temple. 22-10 overall record is impressive and they lose only one player regular (Pollard). Ken-Pom had them 64th, one spot above Princeton. Not much of a recruiting class though (one 3*).
Harvard beat a 13-19 Houston team easily at home in 2013-14, but this will be a much better Harvard team. Possibly two teams that could find themselves ranked top 50-70.
Yes, it's a good game, but no, not anything like past matchups (Kansas, Oklahoma just last year).
I'd say that along with Houston and UMass, Harvard's two toughest opponents could be Princeton and Yale. Gotta root for the Ivies to help establish any sort of RPI.
