...points-per-game in 28 games, and also led the team in assists and steals. Tay earned a first team all-Ivy spot last season. Finishing up the strong backcourt is junior Niki Finelli. Finelli is an all-around player whose three-point shot can be very dangerous. The frontcourt will have more of a challenge. The team graduated forward Christiana Lackner, who was a rebounding powerhouse and was a big part of the resurgence Harvard had at the end of last season. Without Lackner, rebounding is the one of the chinks in the team’s armor...
...Cornell is far from unflawed, as it will be hurt by graduation arguably more than any team except for Penn. The Big Red loses its starting frontcourt in Second Team All-Ivy center Andrew Naeve—who led the league in blocks and also averaged 10.5 points and 7.6 rebounds-per-game—and forward Ugo Ihekweazu. Starting guard Graham Dow, the school’s all-time leader in steals, also departs, but the main hole is up front...
...bottom four teams in the Ivies last year shouldn’t feel too bad about their chances for a surprise title run. Brown brings back two stud guards in First Team All-Leaguer Mark McAndrew and Damon Huffman, as well as a deep recruiting class. The Bears frontcourt leaves much to be desired, however...
...better than this season, as the team loses just one starter—though that one starter is leading scorer Jim Goffredo. Among the returnees, Drew Housman could be the best point guard in the league with Jaaber gone and Evan Harris should be one of the better frontcourt players in the Ivies (even if he still can’t go to his right). Plus, many freshmen played well in limited minutes towards the end of the year, perhaps setting the stage for big sophomore seasons. And who knows, perhaps the new coach will bring an offense or defense...
...year, and his career, from ending in defeat.Guard Jim Goffredo scored a game-high 24 points, but playing without injured sophomore forward Evan Harris, sidelined with a stress fracture of his foot, Harvard (12-16, 5-9 Ivy) was unable to stop Columbia’s massive starting frontcourt from shredding its weakened post defense.Junior Ben Nwachukwu contributed a team-high 18 points and a game-high nine rebounds, and junior John Baumann scored 15 and grabbed five boards to grant the Lions (16-12, 7-7) their third straight win to end the season. The pair combined to shoot...
