Secret Scrimmage

[UconnU]

Cardwell’d?

 

[uconngb]

There’s a Harvard board??

 

[Slick]

Surely someone can induce a leak in the Harvard Crimson.

Loose lips sink ships.

 

[UconnU]

Sooo... what happened?

 

[Candyman]

They definitely played because the picture of Akok and some girl who was a girls basketball player from Putnam Science was taken at Harvard. They both were playing Harvard yesterday.

That doesn’t mean they played. They could have just been touring the campus

Hearing we beat Harvard and had a strong defensive showing. Don’t have stats or score though. Good start to the year.

If true that’s huge

 

[Caronimo]

If true that’s huge

It’s a true statement

 

[Ricker]

From the ncaa's view, what is the point to having the secrecy around a practice/scrimmage? I could see if the schools chose not to have public attendees and be scouted by future opponents, but what does ncaa mandatory complete secrecy supposedly accomplish?

Couple questions. Do you know if any of the freshman played? What the starting lineup was?

My understanding of exhibition games is, for schools to sell tickets to games that don't count, they can only be done with DII or DIII schools. So if you do play against a DI opponent, and you don't want the record to be official, it can't be open to the public. Not totally clear on the full rationale.

You are being extremely kind by associating the word rationale with the NCAA.

Don’t know either, hope it’ll get released soon.

Not sure what your sources are but Harvard is a top 20 team. If that’s true it would be tremendous

That is objectively false.

They are definitely top 100 though, whinch is important for the tourney. Kenpom has us at 71, harvard at 75 I believe. I can't find a single source with harvard top 20.

 

[Devland]

Whatever happened at Harvard will be forgotten/or still not known after the next exhibition game against St Michael's. A game that posters will have actually seen rather than relying on speculation from unknown sources.

Harvard is receiving votes in both the AP and Coaches Polls. I'd say they're a Top 30-50 team.

I agree with you. My point was that saying top 20 is just blatantly wrong.

 

[Candyman]

It would great but keep in mind that there’s no fouling out in private scrimmages. Still to play tough and competitive is a great sign.

 

[tjhusky]

If Harvard is getting their news from the Boneyard you know it must be true that we beat them.

Akok was only freshman that played. But he played really really well.
