In response to mobrien
I had the save observations.
Harvard definitely played Yale more than even for much of the game. I believe Harvard had even outrebounded Yale for the first half.
Although Wolf will certainly be a force in this league, he was outplayed by Ajogbor who held Wolf to 1-7 shooting while Ajogbor was conservatively credited with 3 blocks. As with Spinoso, Harvard has a strong defense against teams that want to run through the post.
The margin was simply due to 3 point shooting, as Yale hit on 12-23 versus Harvard's 5-21. That more than explins the 13 point margin.
Harvard has its strengths, but they are too uneven to put us in the first tier.
Now all five "second tier" teams are 1-3. It's going to be a long, sometimes ugly, haul.
For what it's worth, Pigge had a strong first half, finishing with 13 points on 6-9 shooting, and Amaker decided to give Wojcik's minutes to Nesbit in the second half.
