Harvard basketball cracks the top 25

We've followed Harvard's rise to national prominence closely here at The Buzz, and now the voters have spoken. The Crimson's 8-0 start has propelled them to the No. 24 spot in the ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll and No. 25 in the Associated Press poll. This is the school's first-ever appearance in the hoops top 25.

And up next is the biggest test of their nonconference slate, a December 8th prime-time matchup at UConn, which will be televised on ESPN2 starting at 7 p.m. The game will offer the ultimate measuring stick to see how legitimate this Harvard team truly is. Should be excellent theater so stay tuned.
