Tommy Amaker has been at the reigns of this Harvard program for a long time, and his team has been able to compete on the national level. His team shoots the ball well, and does not turn the ball over much as the Crimson has averaged fewer than 10 turnovers per game in their last six, maximizing offensive opportunities. Iona was an NCAA Tournament team last under Rick Petino,, but he took the St, John's job and took players with him and others transfered out. Iona isn't defending like they did under Petino. The schedule has been weak, and despite of that the Gaels have allowed 80 or more points to five opponents. Harvard is capable and likely to touch 80 in this game, and I like this one to play OVER the total.
