When looking at this year’s March Madness tournament I see teams like The Ohio State Buckeyes, the Tar Heels of North Carolina, Syracuse and then… Harvard. Not to say they don’t fit in with the group I just mentioned but the Crimson can say the had a very respectable season at 26-4 overall.
They will play Vanderbilt in the round of 64 on Thursday, which will make a stage for Harvard’s group which is eager to play and showcase their ability at the next level, a level their team as not reached since 1946. I am positive they will be ball-Lin. This year 2012 will be the 66th anniversary of the Crimson accomplishing the feat of making the Tournament. You never know, Harvard could be a magnificent Cinderella story for this tournament that is dominated by big name schools in the industry. But maybe Harvard can infiltrate one small crack which leads to the world of perplexed moments and games.
Among those who are craving for there chance to solidify there March glory is Kyle Casey. The talented 6-7 forward as helped Harvard on both ends of the floor, while energizing the bench and crowd with thunderous jams over opponents. He, along with senior Keith Wright, will be trying to go out with a bang. Point man Brandyn Curry will try to wear out Vanderbilt with his speed and strength. I have only seen Harvard in the little Lavietas Pavilion but there is no question in my mind that this young and exciting team will be able to bring their talent, along with Crimson pride to the next level.
