YTD: 15-7
PICK: Harvard -6.5
Harvard has lost their L4 and Dartmouth has won 6 of their L7 yet Harvard is favored by 7?? Guess Vegas agrees that the Crimson is the play here.
Revenge: Dartmouth beat Harvard in OT last Friday in NH. Harvard was up by 12 at the end of the first half but got sloppy with the ball in the 2H and stopped playing D which let Dartmouth get back into the game. Dartmouth has played well since the return of Leon Pattman, winning 6 of their L7 since his return.
Motivation: Not much has been made about it but Harvard's 7 foot center Brian Cusworth, the teams leading scorer and rebounder loses his Ivy eligibility at the end of the month. It's too bad because Cusworth is finally healthy and playing well. He had 25 pts and 15 rebs vs Dartmouth last week who had no way to stop the big man. Cusworth has three more games, all at home, and if last week's game is any indication, he wants to go out like Tiki Barber.
Home Cookin': Harvard has played 8 of their L10 on the road. Their guards have not been shooting well on the road but I think they'll find their touch again tonite at Lavietes.
Foul Shooting: Harvard is a good foul shooting team and typically gets significantly more free throws than their competition.
I think Harvard will play a complete game this week and look for Cusworth to have another big game inside.
good luck.
