Monday: Harvard +6.5

[superbook]

YTD: 16-9-2

Hard to go with Harvard who is 0-9 and has looked lost without center Cusworth -- who is out until January with injury. Typical Crimson game has them down big at the half and they can't catch up. But in last game out vs Colgate, Harvard actually led at the half then faltered in 2H due to fouls and poor shooting.

Rider is a good MAAC team but the Broncs don't play well on the road.

Not sure if Harvard gets their first win but I look for a close game decided by a basket in the final seconds.

Get as many points as you can.

superbook,

First of all, great job this year.

Secondly, I watched the drexel/rider game on Saturday. Man Rider looked pathetic. The final score 64-43, was not even an indication of the ass whoppin that Drexel laid on them. Their top player (can't remember his name )was taken completely out of the game by Drexel. The only thing that scares me is they can't play any worse.

All that being said, looking at Harvard's games this year, it is very hard to make a case for them. If Rider (my alma mater) has any pride at all they'll put forth a better effort tonight...

good luck with your play.

superbook,I like Rider tonite.Fatboy I heard Drexal came out smoke'in 15-1.Once that happens its hard to get back.
Harvard is pretty bad.Rider already beat 2 Ivies in Brown by 16 and Dartmouth by 4.
They are a bad road team this yr going 0-3.But history tells us they can win on the road.Lyr 4-9 and the last 2 yrs before that 7-7 and 6-8.
I'll explain later.Wish I got to you before you posted the Iona-Conn game.Iona has all sorts of problems.It's everyone for himself.
Will post later this afternoon..GL

Harvard could have won in regulation but that hook came in handy.

Rider is 0-3 on the road, have won just one of its last seven games away from Alumni Gym dating back to last season and are 4-15 in its last 19 off campus.
