Harvard will have an upset on their minds when they take on the favored Tar Heels, especially since their head coach Tommy Amaker once played for UNC's most hated rivals, the Duke Blue Devils.
"Honestly, I try to keep my history out of it. It's not about me," Amaker said. "It certainly is about what these kids have accomplished in our program and what we've done over the last number of years and how excited I am for them. But certainly they recognize, and we all do, the history and the tradition and the greatness of Carolina basketball, and so anything with me is really irrelevant."
Harvard's defense will enter this matchup with a reputation for excellence, having held opponents to 57.2 points per game this year, the 12th-best mark in the country. Against the Tar Heels they'll have a major challenge though.
UNC has multiple ways to put the ball in the hoop, between their enormous front line of Brice Johnson and Kennedy Meeks, or their sharpshooting point guard Marcus Paige. On top of UNC's scoring punch, their bulk and depth in the frontcourt has made them a Top 10 rebounding team in the country. Harvard might get wiped out on the boards because they don't roster a single player taller than 6'9.
