Nope. This is a new team, without a point guard. Sometimes ugly. Ball movement is now a learning process all over again. Tretout played 23 minutes at PG, running the offense. He’s a work in progress, but it’s not his fault. Entering the season, I believe he was behind Aiken, Juzang, Haskett, Freedman and Sakota. Tough to win with only 1 guard on the floor, and a sixth string PG at that. Again, I think Tretout will be useful in the future, but there’s a way to go.
Seeing Towns, Aiken and Juzang tonight - what a shame.

And I'll say it now in advance. I for one would rather that Harvard didn't have the tournament net to save them if they lose this weekend. And while I'd love for them to be in March Madness, my absolute first choice would be to win the regular season title. Still hoping for both, but this weekend (not Ivy Madness) will determine who gets the banner(s) as 2020 Ivy Champs.
Honest and thoughtful comments and needless to say, I agree completely. What probably would have turned out to be a great year for the senior class was ambushed by injuries almost unheard of in the IL -- Towns, Aiken etc. It is somewhat amazing that Amaker got the team to even have a chance for the IL regular season crown but the Crimson obviously has issues.
Yale has earned the right to represent the IL at the Big Dance but they probably have a 40-45% chance to represent the league going into Robin's Tournament. They will clearly be the highest seed from the IL emerging out of IvyMadness but that does not matter in our new world of IL BB but it would be somewhat ironic and perhaps good that the Crimson win IvyMadness especially in light of the prior two years of playing road games in the IyMadness final after being co-regular season champs.

Yeah, the old system was better, but this is what we have. You have the home ice next year.

Yes, congratulations to Yale. They are the 2019-20 Ivy champions, and it only took them 13 games into the 14-game tournament to get it done; a rare feat these days.
Harvard's message to its community not to hold any events for more than 100 people on campus due to coronavirus is significant. Also, it can be a face-saving way to let this Madness quietly disappear after a 3-year 3-strike you're out adventure, and sending the Yale men and Princeton women to the Dance where they belong.

This was in an email to all members of the Harvard community last night.
ON-CAMPUS MEETINGS AND EVENTS
We strongly discourage any non-essential meetings or events of 100 people or more

Believe there was a line in HC game story saying He'd be back for tournament. May have been wishful thinking.

"The Crimson was playing its second full game without senior point guard Christian Juzang, who injured his ankle last weekend and has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against Yale. Juzang has a good chance to return for next weekend’s tournament, something that cannot be said about fellow injured senior guards Seth Towns and Bryce Aiken."
https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2020/3/7/mens -b...
I believe I also remember reading somewhere that Amaker said that he was "hopeful" that Juzang would be back, but I can't remember where.

Heard tonight at Lavietes that Juzang is hopeful. Apparently Kirkwood has been playing hurt for a few games and he didn’t dress for Yale.
So, without 4 starters Crimson walk over Yale after laying an egg vs Brown. Go figure.
Amazing testament to the depth of this roster and Amaker’s recruiting.

Harvard had a first-half block party against Yale. Elis looked a bit lax to me, but what I saw of the Crimson effort was impressive. Especially without Kirkwood.
