Since Tommy Amaker took the reigns at Harvard, they have become a national program that flirts with the top 25 on occasion, but overall, they have been the top dog in the Ivy. They come into this game with just a single conference loss and are 15-5 overall. One big difference this season, after allowing just four Ivy teams to get to 70, the Crimson has allowed 70 or more in three of their last five games, all Ivy opponents. Columbia has topped the 80 point mark two times in their last four games, and have a lot of good, long range shooters as their top three scorers combine to connect at over 40% from deep. I think the total here is way too low as the Lions can score quickly on the perimeter. And defensively, this Harvard team has been a lot more vulnerable than in the recent past. Make the play on the OVER.
