Who's Playing

Harvard @ Northeastern

Current Records: Harvard 2-1; Northeastern 0-2

What to Know

The Northeastern Huskies will be returning home after a two-game road trip. They will take on the Harvard Crimson at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Matthews Arena. Harvard will be strutting in after a win while the Huskies will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Northeastern was expected to have a tough go of it this past Saturday, and, well, they did. They suffered a grim 89-65 defeat to the Providence Friars. Jahmyl Telfort had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 30 minutes with 4-for-13 shooting.

Meanwhile, Harvard had enough points to win and then some against the Elon Phoenix on Sunday, taking their contest 92-77.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Northeastern is expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in all their past two games, so buyers beware.

Northeastern is now 0-2 while the Crimson sit at 2-1. Two last-season stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Huskies are stumbling into the game with the 15th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 10.3 on average. Harvard is 38th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 15.1 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
