The Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns are probably the better team on paper, but they don’t cover numbers dating back to last season. The Harvard Crimson are an experienced team, and you could argue they’ll have the best player on the floor here in Ledlum. This line is a bit disrespectful toward the Harvard Crimson. I’ll grab the free buckets.
