...play out of position.”Other than the lineup shifts, Harvard’s gameplan has not changed for its meeting with BU. The Crimson knows it must handle the Terriers’ pressure, contain their explosive backcourt, and prevent them from getting hot behind the arc. The failure to execute in those areas has led to back-to-back 44- and 37-point losses to BU over the past two seasons.“They’ve definitely embarrassed us the last two years,” Stehle said. “Even for the guys...
