In a preview of tonight’s game against Penn, the Philadelphia Inquirer discusses Tommy Amaker’s turnaround of the Harvard program.
In just his third season with the Crimson, Amaker is spearheading one of the unlikeliest revivals in college hoops.
“To have it kind of take shape is really nice for all of us to see that happen,” Amaker said of the team’s success. “And still we are nowhere near we want to be.”
At this point, they’re closer to that goal than Penn (5-20, 4-7).
The traditional league power is posting one of the worst campaigns in school history.
The Crimson defeated the Quakers, 80-66, a month ago in Cambridge. A win tonight would enable Harvard to win both season games with Penn for the first time since back-to-back seasons in 1941 and 1942.
