Yale -110 Harvard -110 PKEM
TIDBITS and more....:scared
Yale is forcing 16.2 turnovers per game, second best in the Ivy League, but the Bulldogs are also committing 16.6 turnovers per game, the highest number in the league. Some of that can be attributed to the lack of a pure point guard. Eric Flato is a natural shooting guard playing the point because Chris Andrews is injured. Teams have been able to put more pressure on Flato when he has the ball or simply have worked to keep him from getting the ball by keeping it in the hands of his teammates. Andrews suffered a season-ending knee injury in the offseason.
YALE...68 PTS PER THRU 15 GAMES..
By the time Harvard plays host to Yale on Friday, it will have been 14 days between games for the Crimson
Harvard will play two more games before it loses its best player, 7-foot senior center Brian Cusworth, and there's nothing Harvard or Cusworth can do to change the situation. Cusworth missed his sophomore year with a stress fracture, but the Ivy League doesn't allow athletes to redshirt. Cusworth didn't attend school for one semester as a sophomore, so Harvard allowed him to play one semester this season. He is being allowed to play in Harvard's first 18 games, his final game coming Saturday against Brown. Then he will miss the Crimson's final 10 games, all of them against Ivy League opponents. Cusworth is second in the Ivy League with an average of 16.7 points per game and leads the Ivy with 9.2 rebounds and 2.25 blocked shots per game.
At a time of the season when most college basketball teams have played three to five games during that time, the Crimson has spent its time practicing since a 77-71 home win over Dartmouth on Jan. 12.
That extra time gave Harvard some extra time to work on a defense that ranks last in the Ivy League and is allowing 78.8 points per game and 48 percent shooting from the field.
Harvard (8-8, 1-1 Ivy League) gave up 75.5 percent shooting in its first two Ivy League games, both against Dartmouth. In those games, the Crimson allowed the Big Green to shoot 46.1 percent from the field and 32.5 percent from 3-point range.
