Mitch discussed the challenges of playing Harvard and Dartmouth on the road. Two weeks prior on his radio show, he complimented Dartmouth's head coach and Mitch was very surprised that Dartmouth had a poor record although he mentioned their road schedule and losing tight games.
As to Harvard, he said that the biggest challenge is how well Harvard gets right into the face of offensive player pressuring the ball. He also commented that Amaker has recently reduced his rotation so he is pretty sure as to which players that they will face.
For me, everything starts with the Arirguzoh/Lewis match up. After the first Harvard game, Richmond expressed disappointed as to how he played Lewis in the first half. Arirguzoh needs to play Lewis one on one without any help from other Tiger players. If the defense collapses on Lewis, Harvard starts passing the ball around the horn until someone gets a more open 3 pt shot. By not collapsing, it forces Harvard to go more one on one which should be a plus.
Going to be a challenging game as Harvard will be playing desperate in order to play in IvyMadness at home. Lewis, Bassey and all other seniors will be all in tomorrow night at home.
Who knows what happens this year in the Ivy League.

And Mark Eckel of Bettors' Insider gives us the old "This line is telling me something" approach.

The line is a function of KenPom/similar ratings. It's not telling you anything except what the two teams' ratings are and how much HCA is worth.

So are you telling me that Eckel doesn't know what he is talking about writing for a Gambling Publication?

Llewellyn, Wright, Friberg, Evbuomwan, Aririguzoh to start. Schwieger out with illness.
Harvard sticking with the 4 seniors + Kirkwood to start. No Aiken as expected

Sloppy start with 3 TOs early for the Tigers, but defense holding strong. Llewellyn aggressive early and has gone through Juzang twice for layups, and Wright found Friberg on a back door for an easy layup. 6-5 at the U16

JL with two nifty moves and beautiful back donor cut from Friberg give Tigers an early 6-5 lead. RA with 2 early TOs. Needs to take care of the ball better.

Llewellyn in a zone right now, he's knocked down 2 contested 3s and he's up to a game high 12 after just 8 minutes of play. Knotted at 14 at the U12

Back to back 3s from Friberg force an Amaker TO with 8:13 left, Tigers up 22-17. The good and bad of Ledlum coming to play, with a strong and-1 finish through 3 Tigers on one possession and then a turnover and losing Friberg on the next 2.
RA having a lot of trouble offensively against Lewis, but doing a good job defensively and on the boards

Tigers lead by 29-21 at the U4, holding Harvard to just 0.71 PPP and have been forcing a lot of tough looks early

Heading into halftime up 34-30. Pretty good half especially without Schwieger. Llewellyn playing perhaps his most aggressive half in a while, he's got 17 to lead the game.
All 34 points so far from the starters, as Friberg's move to the starting lineup has shortened the bench a bit. Langborg got in briefly in the 1st half. Tigers are doing well on the offensive glass but haven't been great keeping Harvard off of the offensive glass either

Tigers steal a few minutes with both RA and JL on the bench without too much trouble, but Kirkwood's shooting 3 FT after a bad foul by Desrosiers.
Tigers still up 46-41 with 11:52 to play
