...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. While the Crimson only has one win to its name, Wisconsin (10-2) has already reeled off ten wins and is a perfect 7-0 at the Kohl Center this season. A win in Madison would give the Crimson, which...
