Preview
Cornell (5-1, 15-7) bounced from their first Ivy loss of the season in the big way—a 15-point win over Penn last Saturday. Their loss to Princeton snapped a nine-game win streak, but the good news is that they are still perfect a Newman Arena on the season.
The Crimson (2-4, 10-10) found Ivy victory for only the second time last weekend—a one-point victory over Brown. The win snapped a four-game losing streak. The last two times Harvard played on the road they upset ranked Boston rival BC and then escaped Dartmouth by one point.
Harvard may be sixth in the Ivy standings, but their overall record of .500 would put them in third—behind only Princeton (.529) and Cornell (.682).
The Crimson are going to try and show the college hoops world that their victory over BC wasn't a complete fluke and that they have the ability win an Ivy game by more than one point.
