The Harvard men’s basketball team dropped its season opener, the debut of new head coach Tommy Amaker, 111-56, to No. 23 Stanford, host of the weekend-long Basketball Travelers Classic, at Maples Pavilion on Friday night. The bigger and more skilled Cardinal blitzed the Crimson out of the gates, jumping out to early leads of 19-3 and 42-17 en route to a 65-28 halftime cushion.
