Harvard Gets Taste of Duke Hoops Pedigree Under Coach Tommy Amaker


Harvard is known for producing senators, scientists, authors, U.S. presidents and Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. For the most part, the Crimson have left basketball greatness to Pete Carril and Bill Bradley at Princeton, or more recently to Cornell, which reached the Sweet 16 in the 2010 NCAA Tournament.

Tommy Amaker is changing all that. Harvard is undefeated in the Ivy League this season under the former Duke guard, who has brought some of the Blue Devils' pedigree to Cambridge.
