The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers aren’t as talented as they’ve been in past years, and they’re going up against a Harvard team that’s playing well out the gate. Harvard has several guys who can fill it up offensively and will certainly have the best player on the floor here. Kind of surprising the Crimson are underdogs here. Give me the free bucket.
