How Did Harvard Do Last Time Out?

The Boston Globe: Harvard goes to great lengths to deny Northeastern

Things to Look Out For With Harvard:

1. Three pointers: Harvard generates much of its offense from beyond the arc– in fact, 37.1% of points scored this year for Harvard were generated from beyond the perimeter, well above the national average. Look for sharpshooters Corey Johnson (24th best three-point shooter in the nation) and Seth Towns to be active from beyond the arc.
2. Avoid foul trouble: BC has had problems with getting into foul trouble as of late, and Harvard is not a team to mess around with on that subject. Harvard shoots 75.2% from the stripe, good for 47th in the nation. BC would be wise to avoid sending the Crimson to the line.
3. They Really Are A Young Team: There are a total of 12 teams who are younger on average that Harvard is at .99 years of experience. In a rivalry matchup, that might play a factor.
