Johnny and the Cardinal and Tommy and the Crimson (Harvard in!)
Johnny's Stanford Cardinal is doing fairly well in the early going. They are 5-0 and head into the preseason NIT Championship game against Syracuse Friday at 5 p.m. EST in MSG. They got there by defeating Okie State 82-67. Here is the Daily News story. Looks like it's on ESPN.
Whether Stanford is for real this year remains to be seen, but they are on the right track for now.
Don't forget about Harvard and Tommy Amaker
Tommy Amaker has the Crimson at 4-0 facing #22 FSU at 4:30pm today in the finals of the Battle for Atlantis tournament in the Bermudas after blowing out Utah and Loyola Marymount (which beat UCLA). How many mid-majors do you see on the good end of blowouts? Looks like they got some firepower.
Statement games for both programs. Let's go Crimson/Cardinal and of course DUKE!
Upset Alert: Harvard vs FSU -- Harvard winning in the 2nd half
12 mins left in the 2nd half. Score is an ugly 21-18 (yes, that's accurate). It was 14-14 at half. 13 combined FGs so far.
Its on Versus (at least it is on FIOS)
