Kenpom has us as 1 point favorites tonight. We could really, really use Ledlum back. Otherwise, we’re going to have to shoot better from outside to get this one.

Are they now going to rename Lavietes Forbes Field?

It's the Mason Forbes show so far. Like the press to give Yale different looks.

Swain hit his first 3 when Yale was in a shooting groove, but he has shot them out of their momentum ever since.

Yale holds Kirkwood to 2pts with its trademark sticky defense, and, despite a dry spell late in the first half, takes a 32-26 lead at the break.

Tommy unhappy with both Noah and Luka—with good reason—but taking them out at the same time isn't exactly working. Let's hope he thinks the message is received now.

With Lesmond hurt, this is crazy.

I guess Forbes is finally playing himself into shape.

Gutsy effort, but missing 3 of 5 starters, and still almost beat 7-1 Yale - twice.

Losing to Yale twice is an oddity, I think; in the same week, unique.

Very likely they'll host the men's tournament but not play in it.

Looked to me like there were more players in street clothes than in uniform for Harvard. Crazy.

That’s nothing. Just wait until the ILT.

That's a good one. Wonder if Seth and Bryce are in town?

I used to hope that we'd see some key players return. Don't expect it any more. If Ledlum and Lesmond can't play in this key 4 game stretch, then they're not coming back soon.

Harvard had to split these 4 games to remain in contention, even for just the 4th spot. Saturday at the Palestra will be the 4th game in 9 days, with 3 on the road. Playing mostly freshmen and missing 6 of 11 man anticipated rotation (Ajogbor still rusty).

Fact that they have lost 3 of last 4 (Yale & Penn) by a combined 10 points is actually impressive under the circumstances. Had a chance in final seconds in all of them.

Great to see Forbes. I had assumed that his skills would make him one of the top 'centers' in the league this season. His improvement over the past 5 games has been what I had hoped for.

Thought Sakota had that shot last night.

They definitely had the wide open shot.

Should be very interesting on Saturday. The Crimson will be desperate.

Forbes played better than any other #5 I have seen in the league this year. One man cannot guard him.
