At the beginning of the season Harvard was named the clear cut favorite to win the Ivy League. It looks like the analysts had it right. At this point in the season the only 2 teams that have a legitimate chance at the Ivy League title are Harvard and Yale, both 8-1. Harvard proved their dominance again tonight, defeated Penn 83-63, a slight improvement from Penn's 80-50 loss to the Crimson three weeks ago.
In an interesting twist, the leading scorer of this game was Penn's Fran Dougherty with 15 points. Harvard's scoring was well distributed with Steve Mondou-Missi netting 14, Larent Rivard 13, Kyle Casey 12 & Wesley Saunders 12. Hell, Harvard was so into teamwork that they had 14 different players clock minutes tonight, 11 of whom scored.
Now a recurring theme, turnovers destroyed the Quakers again tonight. Penn doubled Harvard's turnover margin and then some 20-8. The shooting was almost dead even percentage-wise tonight, but Harvard really pulled away at the foul line, scoring 27 compared to Penn's 15.
Penn's season is quickly slipping away. The Quakers go for a morale boost tomorrow night as they work their way to the other end of the color spectrum and take on the Dartmouth Big Green. Tip is at 7 at the Palestra.
