The Harvard Crimson have made a name for themselves in the Ivy League as being a team to fear come NCAA Tournament time. It seems that they are always pulling off at least one upset or giving a power-5 team a run for their money in the opening rounds. Tonight, they come to Rupp Arena for their first ever matchup against the Kentucky Wildcats, but the start to the season has not been kind to the Crimson.
Sporting just a 3-5 record going into today, Harvard has dropped multiple winnable games, including 4 point losses to both Manhattan and Holy Cross, as well as games at Cal State Fullerton and at Northeastern.
