Who's got the edge? (Penn-Harvard)
I'm too lazy to write my own preview of this game, so here's the story that ran in today's DP, and here's who has the edge on the court, straight from the pages:
Offense: It's not exactly going to be a battle for the ages -- both squads have vanilla offenses at this point. But Glen Miller's dynamic sets might shine in Ivy play. Advantage: Penn
Rebounding: Another wash. It'll come down to Pat Magnarelli, a guy Miller couldn't land at Brown vs. defensive-minded Cameron Lewis and big Andreas Schreiber. Two against one. Advantage: Penn
Defense: The Quakers have struggled mightily on defense this season. Was it becasue they were playing solid nonconference teams, or because they just can't D up? We'll see tonight, but at this point the nod goes to Harvard. Advantage: Harvard
Coaching: The newest Ivy League coaches: one an Ancient Eight veteran and the other a Big Ten expat. Advantage: Harvard
Overall: Penn may have three freshmen logging heavy minutes, but Harvard's roster is weak. Amaker just might find himself under .500 in the League after tonight. Advantage: Penn
See you at the game.
