...Harvard women’s basketball team is looking for holiday cheer on its road trip this weekend, it shouldn’t expect a welcoming host in the Wisconsin Badgers. The Crimson (1-7) enters hostile territory tonight in what promises to be a stiff non-conference test for a Harvard squad still trying to find its way.
