OT Greatest program in New England goes down to HC

[Rocktheworld]

HC went 3-12 from 3, 9-17 from the line

24 TOs for Harvard; there goes their ranking for the rest of the year

We picked a good year not to play them. Their RPI will plummet.

I saw this and thought- " that did'nt take long". I have to admit he has done a great job with that team.
However I am not sure its fair to the rest of the world if Harvard kids also have a sport they can route for that is good (outside of crew and competative chess).

Crap, does that make UConn #3 in New England?

I know this is a joke in reference to a dumb comment by a dumb talking head, but Harvard has 3 goals and zero chance of aspiring beyond them.

1. Win the Ivy League every year.
2. Beat Princeton and Yale to do it.
3. Avoid academic fraud scandals.

Even hoping for an NCAA win is reaching just a tad too far. If it actually happens, well bully for them.

They had an NCAA win last year.

They had an NCAA win last year.

Princeton had one once, too. Hardly deserves more than a footnote.

Yes, those 2 situations are exactly the same.

 

[OkaForPrez]

Actually they've had an NCAA win two years in a row and will be a perennial threat under Amaker.

Nobody ever asserted Princeton is the best program in the Mid-Atlantic, and rightfully so

 

[Husky25]

Even Chap's reference make no sense.

Thus the Gators, like dozens of fallen favorites before them, could only watch as a team that had been inferior all season long — in this case a No. 7 seed (Connecticut) that Florida had lost to on the road in December by one point on a buzzer-beater — raised the national championship trophy.

Awful lot of qualifications to "prove" a team is inferior (Yeah, but it was on the road. Yeah but it was only by one point. Yeah, but they were a 7 seed in the Tournament. Yeah, but Florida was winning before Napier's shot when in.).The Superior Gators lost to the Inferior UCONN Huskies twice last season. Methinks the author(s) got their adjectives mixed up. I don't have an SI account or else I'd comment. Doesn't matter. It doesn't move the needle.

So what's your complaint? That someone thinks Florida had a better team last year than UConn did?

Not so much a complaint than an observation.

& Beat BC each year, which Harvard has done every year since 2008

This bracket will soon (hopefully) feature several new entrants from UNC (2005 and 2009) was the NCAA strips them of various NCAA titles due to an avalanche of sanctions (yeah right)).

BC high has a chance to beat BC the college. This is not something I'd be crowing about.
