Harvard Draws UNC in NCAA Tournament
Harvard will face off against the University of North Carolina Thursday in Jacksonville in the Crimson’s fourth straight NCAA Tournament appearance.
Harvard was announced as the 13-seed in the West Division, one spot worse than last season, when it upset Cincinnati in the first round before losing to Michigan State, 80-73.
This will be Harvard’s fifth appearance in the NCAA Tournament, where the Crimson are 2-5 overall.
The Crimson backed into the Ivy League’s NCAA Tournament auto-bid, beating Yale 53-51 in a one-game playoff for the conference title. That game was only made possible by Dartmouth’s last-second comeback against Yale days prior.
The Crimson were led in scoring this season by senior guard Wesley Saunders, who averaged more than 16 points and four assists per game.
