\"Big
Harvard is a 10 point favorite tonight<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This matchup of a middle of the road team in the Pennsylvania Quakers with the second best team in the Ivy league in Harvard, is not expected to be that close according to college basketball oddsmakers.\u00a0 Harvard (21-5) is 10-2 in Ivy league play and Pennsylvania (12-13) is 6-5 in Ivy League play.<\/p>\n

The Harvard Crimson just had a 6 game win streak snapped by Yale on February 26th, where Yale came back from being down by 5 with 6 minutes to go.\u00a0 They had a chance to win the game but Brandyn Curry missed the winning layup with a second to go.<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania is led by the quartet of Zach Rosen, Jack Eggleston, Tyler Bernardini, and Miles Cartwright.\u00a0 The four combine to average 52.2 points per game, 78% of the Quakers total scoring.\u00a0 Jack Eggleston, a 6’8″ senior forward, leads Pennsylvania in minutes played with 38.3 minutes per game, and is second in scoring with 14.4 points per game.\u00a0 He has scored in double figures in all but 5 games, and Pennsylvania is 2-3 when he failes to reach double figures.\u00a0 Eggleston went 11 of 15 from the floor in 39 minutes of play last game against Brown, ending up with 25 points and 12 rebounds.\u00a0 Rosen, a 6’1″ junior point guard, averages a team best 14.5 points per game and a team best 5.4 assists per game.\u00a0 His best game came in a 1 point loss to Harvard when he scored 21 points and dished out 13 assists.\u00a0 Last game against Brown he played 39 minutes and went for 13 points and 5 assists.<\/p>\n

Harvard are big favorites, as they should be.\u00a0 They have had a great season and should be ready to try to make waves in a couple weeks in the NCAA Tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
