An Ivy League battle is set for Friday night when the Harvard Crimson (9-6, 0-1 in Ivy) visit the Brown Bears (7-7, 0-1). Harvard opened their conference play with a tough loss, but it would still be a shock if they weren’t one of the two or three best teams in the league. Brown might trouble some teams, but they will not be a factor in the Ivy League this season. Below is my college basketball prediction for Harvard vs Brown.
