What to Know

The Harvard Crimson will play host again and welcome the Brown Bears to Lavietes Pavilion, where tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET Friday. Harvard is out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.

The Howard Bison typically have all the answers at home, but two weeks ago the Crimson proved too difficult a challenge. Harvard was able to grind out a solid win over Howard, winning 77-69.

Meanwhile, Brown was close but no cigar on Sunday as they fell 77-73 to the Pennsylvania Quakers.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Harvard is expected to win a tight contest. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Harvard, who are 5-4 against the spread.

Harvard's victory lifted them to 8-4 while Brown's loss dropped them down to 8-8. We'll see if the Crimson can repeat their recent success or if the Bears bounce back and reverse their fortune.
