Lets talk a bit about these too...First off I'm leaning Yale.
When the game is played at Yale, for the past 3 years its come down to the wire, about 1-4 points. This is due to the very large rivalry in place, and since its at Yale the crowd is heavy on the home team. First of all, Harvard can expect to be challenged defensively. Yale has the Twin Towers in Greg Mangano '12 and Jeremiah Kreisberg '14. The Crimson just isn't as vertically gifted as the Bulldogs. On the other end of the height spectrum, guard Austin Morgan '13 can shoot the lights out. When the Elis play their best basketball they can compete with anyone, but they do have a tendency to look sluggish in the opening minutes of halves.Bluntly, the key is for Yale to put the ball in the basket. The Crimson defense has somehow managed to be fourth in the nation in points against per game despite being made up entirely of Harvard students. With that said, I believe (with some bias) that Yale will be able to break 60 points and beat Harvard, 63-58. The Bulldogs have the ability to do it; the question is whether or not they will be able to string together two solid halves and seal the deal.
Let me know if you all have any good info to add!
