Projected Men's Basketball Schedule

The 2010-11 Harvard men’s basketball schedule has yet to be released, but the Crimson’s winter itinerary is beginning to take shape based on the officially released schedules of some of Harvard’s opponents. The Crimson won’t be making a west-coast swing this season, but the non-conference schedule will take the squad to Georgia, Michigan, and Washington D.C.

Closer to home, the Ivy League schedulers sure know how to make things exciting, pitting Harvard against Princeton on the final Saturday of conference play. The Crimson and the Tigers are projected by most media outlets to finish atop the Ancient Eight standings, so this contest could hold postseason implications. Below is The Back Page’s schedule projection for the upcoming season:

Sat, Nov. 13 at George Mason

Sat, Nov. 20 at Mercer

Wed, Nov. 24 at Bryant

Sun, Nov. 28 vs. Colorado

Tue, Dec. 28 vs. MIT

Other projected non-conference contests: Home games against Holy Cross, Boston University, Seattle, Colorado, and Fordham. Road games at George Washington, UConn, Michigan, and Boston College.
