You'd be hard-pressed to find a better entertainment value in sports than the 2018-19 Harvard men's basketball team. Eight of the Crimson's 10 games against D-I opponents have been decided by 10 points or fewer, and five were five or fewer, including last Saturday's 71-67 win over Mercer. That should come as no surprise to Tar Heel fans who remember the white-knuckle 67-65 win in the first round of the 2015 NCAA tournament.
