Harvard in the Times

 

With anticipation growing for the showdowns up in Cambridge, Mass. this weekend, even the New York Times Sports section is giving some inches to the little old Ivy League. In an article today, the Times took a look at Harvard's rise to contender over the last three years: "In 100th Season, Harvard Basketball Seeks First Ivy Title".

Those of us who regularly follow the Ivy League will quickly note that the Times' headline writers probably don't...The Ivy League has only been handing out titles for the last 54 years. Regardless, it's a good look at the program and what coach Tommy Amaker is doing with it.

Perhaps the most interesting tidbit to me is at the end, which points out that Harvard star and 2010 grad Jeremy Lin and his Golden State Warriors will actually be in Boston Friday night to play the Celtics — so he'll have to miss watching his alma mater's game against Penn.
