Opens Princeton -5 O/U 143 1/2

I am hoping that we do not go down 10-15 points in the first half.

37-33 lead. Good start for a road game. Harvard ain’t rollin’ over.

Pierce dominating the boards. Mitch clearly looking to get Hicke, Abdullahi and Byriel more shots at the rim. Looking forward to more Lee in the 2nd half. He looks rested and he’s got his shooting touch back.

Harvard came prepared for the game and the Tigers responded well. Cade looked a little tentative at the beginning of the game but had a really strong drive and score with his left and hit the nifty shot right at the end of the half that beat Rutgers. Hicke is a beast.

Gotta let Xaivian close this out - let him create off the dribble.

Mostly pleased with the effort on both ends. Just a few sloppy moments (bad shots and lazy passes) at the wrong time have kept Harvard in striking distance.

Lee banks in the dagger 3!!!

EDIT: Nevermind. Split-second too late.

Lazy passes indeed.

Byriel with one of the laziest, one handed passes I’ve ever seen. TWO HANDS!

Ugly finish after Lee’s 3 waved off. Harvard basically called off the dogs until Byriel threw a lazy TO for an easy Hinton layup.

Wheels falling off the Tigers, here. Missed free throws, bad passes, lazy defense. Uggh

Byriel had a really nice game until that TO. We’re gonna win this, but these last 2 minutes are everything wrong with this team.

So fundamentally unsound. Lazy passes, missed FTs.

At least I think we’re gonna win this…

I wouldn’t bank this game yet.

Not so fast! Lead down to TWO! Terrible turnover by Xaivian. Uggghhhhh

We have plenty of Time Outs, here. No excuses for another turnover.

Edit: guess I was wrong about that. Thrown by the four dots on the scoreboard.

World’s meekest “woooo.” A win that almost feels like a loss.

DD with the big Free Throws and Hicke with the game closing block. Phew!

Escape is the right word.

Any Ivy road win is a good one. Thought the goaltending call was a bad one. Ball hadn’t hit the backboard was still going up.

Agree on the bad goaltending call. Hicke has some hops!
