Harvard vs George Washington Prediction

I’ll lean toward George Washington here. The Revs have three pretty routine wins in the can so far this year, and they’ve been playing great defense thus far. George Washington took a 19-point victory over Elon in their latest outing, holding the Phoenix to just 26 percent from the field alongside a 43-39 rebounding advantage. The Revolutionaries didn’t shoot spectacularly themselves (40 percent) but with the margin of victory that hardly mattered. George Washington has held their opponents below 62 points in every game so far, while scoring at least 69 points in each of those games as well. I can’t envision Harvard putting up too high of a shooting percentage in this one if that trend continues.

Speaking of Harvard, they’ve got a couple wins versus overmatched teams and a tight overtime loss in their cart this year so far. The Crimson took a four-point defeat versus Northeastern in their most recent outing, shooting 41 percent from the field, 25 percent (6-of-24) from outside and 63 percent (12-of-19) at the line alongside a 41-36 rebounding disadvantage. Harvard has hit the 70-point mark in two of three games, but one of those was buoyed by the overtime finish. I don’t see them scoring super well here.
