Can't speak for anyone else, but I bought four and couldn't find enough people.

Not me - I'll be there. Though I'll be going with someone who supports Harvard (because she works there).

Probably going to hit up the pregame activities too.

Looking at Harvard's (4-4) schedule so far...

Northeastern is our one common opponent so far. Harvard visited NE and lost 84-79, we hosted NE and won 80-71.
They hosted Maine and won 67-46. (We get Maine in a couple weeks.)
Siena was their only other home court game, and won 59-56.
Beat Texas A&M on a neutral court. Aggies are predicted in the bottom tier of the SEC, but still, SEC.
Only fell to #5 Maryland by 7.

Their last outing was a 77-62 loss to Southern Cal in Orlando on Sunday.
https://www.gocrimson.com/sports/mbkb/2 ... 1201vosn4q

They've had nearly a week to prepare for us, versus our half week. That's a bit of a concern.

By the numbers, it's clear who we have to worry about: senior guard Bryce Aiken (6'0" 175). He has a 21.0 ppg average, and shoots 39% from 3. Don't put him on the line either, shoots almost 86%. He scored 30 against USC. He didn't play vs us last season (knee), but his career high in rebounds was versus us in 2017, and hit the winning shot in that one too.

Noah Kirkwood, 6'7" 215 Soph G is second at 11.4 ppg, and .375 from 3. He also leads the team with 3.7 apg.

Chris Lewis, 6'9" 235 Sr F, gives 'em 9.0 ppg
Justin Bassey, 6'5" 215 Sr G, adds 7.1 ppg
Then they have a foursome who provide PPGs in the 6s: Robert Baker (6'11" 205 Sr F), Danilo Djuricic (6'8" 215 Jr F), Chris "Don't call me Redrum" Ledlum (6'6" 225 Fr F), and Rio Haskett (6'3" 195 Jr G).

Lewis grabs 6.4 rpg, Baker 5.9, Bassey 4.8, Djuricic 4.5.

They have a ton of guys on their roster: 19, but four haven't played at all. (We have 15, which includes Buggs, Kolton, Dibaji, and Randall West, who we haven't seen as yet this year.)

The game is listed on NESN and ESPN+ at 1 pm, so there is video.

Parking near football stadium will be muddy. Best bet is at the B school.

Is parking free at b-school?

Do they sell beer at Lavietes?

This team has high major personnel. I saw them against HC and they didn't play a great game, but they were missing their 2 big men. Towns is also their best player and he hasn't stepped on the court due to injury. He's had injury problems his whole career, which is a shame because he was Ivy POY in his one full season.

The freshmen Ledlum really impressed me. He's built like a linebacker and showed some nice touch.

AIken is a hell of a player, but I think Keon can slow him down. If Umass can keep Lewis off the glass I think they have a good chance. They need to keep Ledlum and Kirkland out at the 3 point line. If those 2 are getting buckets in the paint we're going to be in trouble.

ESPN's "predictor" has Harvard as an 8.6 point favorite with a 79% chance of winning. I have no idea how good their system is but that seems awfully high to me.

^Kenpom has basically the same. 74-64 predicted score.

Thanks for the warning. I won't get my hopes up. Well, not too much, anyway.
