Harvard is the only school we have not played.

3-0 with Brown 69, 75, 82 seasons
1-0 with Columbia 71
1-0 with Cornell 73
1-1 with Dartmouth Lost in 70, won in 1988-89
1-0 with Penn 85 NCAA tourney
1-0 with Princeton 71 (played Columbia in 71 too)
1-0 with Yale 67

Of course we regularly beat the Ivy league of central Birmingham school.

This year's Harvard team is pretty good...top 100, wins over California and Boston College...worst loss to Vermont.

Looking forward to it...wish Johns Hopkins played D1 ball (not Ivy league but similar profile).

does the success over Ivy League schools mean our players have high basketball I.Q.?

Wasn't that Jim Barton's (MUS) Dartmouth team?

Harvard game scares me a bit. Smart team, well coached, slow it down, 2/3 zone defense.

Original Sabretooth · 01-17-2013 12:44 AM

Bigger & Better version of CBU...

Me too. They are a good team and very capable of pulling a "St. Louis - style' win over us.

Yes. Jim Barton played for Dartmouth from 1985-89.

This will be a good game to see if the Tigers can run an offense against a half court team..I like it because when and if we play in the NCAA tourney we could play a team like last years St. Louis in which we didn't bode well in..The Tigers thrive and want to run so it will be interesting to see if we can play a half court game, at least to start off with..I want to see some offensive sets run..This game could be the tell tell sign of Pastners X's and O's..

3rd best 3pt % in the NCAA this season.

They also hardly foul on defense and they get to the line regularly on offense.

They're letting opposing teams shoot pretty well from the floor.

They play man defense predominantly, although I wouldn't be surprised to see a zone from them.

Oh I thought they played zone that's why I said it would be a good test..If there smart they will play it and I'm sure there pretty smart..

If this team loses to Harvard at home, that says alot about this team.

We will be better at every position...Even 3 deep on the bench we are better than their starters.

We'll run them out of the gym if they're not knocking down every three.

They run a really weird lineup. Only one player under 6'5" starting, but only one player that's taller than 6'5" starts for them.

I predict Tarik and Shaq go Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds on Saturday.

21-17 Best Time I Ever Ha · 01-17-2013 08:12 PM

Harvard Smarvard.

Roll it out. We got court smarts. This ain't the Knowledge Bowl. We will eat their lunch.

I remember the game well, couldn't remember the name but that their leading scorer was from Memphis. I thought we played them twice in the 80s, but I guess I was mistaken.

They aren't coming here to row on the Wolf River. It is basketball, and they are up the creek without a paddle. But actually I hope they give the Tigers a challenge and make it a good contest.
