Northeastern vs Harvard 11/16/22 College Basketball Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Harvard Crimson and the Northeastern Huskies meet in college basketball action from Matthews Arena on Wednesday night.

The Harvard Crimson will look to build on their 92-77 win over Elon last time out. Evan Nelson led the Crimson with 23 points on 8 of 12 shooting with 4 threes and a team-high 6 assists and 3 steals while Luka Sakota added 14 points on 4 of 6 shooting with a pair of triples. Sam Silverstein added 13 points with 8 rebounds and 4 assists and Idan Tretout added 12 points on 4 of 5 shooting. Chris Ledlum added 10 points with his team-high 10 rebounds to match for the double-double and to cap off the scoring in double figures for Harvard in the winning effort.

The Northeastern Huskies will be out to bounce back from an 89-65 loss to Providence last time out. Coleman Stucke led the Huskies with 17 points on 6 of 12 shooting with 5 threes while Chase Cormier and Jahmyl Telfort each had 11 points toc ap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Northeastern in the loss, with Cormier shooting 3 of 4 with a pair of threes and a team-high 4 assists. Harold Woods also added a team-high 6 rebounds as well for the Huskies in the win.

Harvard is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 5-20-1 ATS in their last 26 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games following a win. Northeastern is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a loss by 20 or more points while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record.

It’s hard to really get a feel for this game, as Harvard’s got a couple of wins under their belt including one against an average Elon team, while Northeastern’s 0-2 but against the tougher schedule. I’m leaning the Huskies’ way here, as the home team’s covered 6 of the last 7 meetings between these two teams. Otherwise, I’m probably staying away from this one on Wednesday.
