Harvard Crimson
After starting 5-4, Harvard has rattled off three straight wins, most recently beating Howard. The problem many people stake in Harvard’s 8-4 record is that they beat bad teams and lose against good ones, which has some weight to it, especially as of late. Harvard’s last four wins were all against sub .500 teams and the last team teams they played with a winning record, they lost. California, sitting at only 6-6, fits the mold of a team Harvard usually beats.

Harvard is led by Bryce Aiken and Noah Kirkwood. Aiken leads the team in points per game at 16.7 per game and is lethal from the charity stripe, shooting almost 88%. Kirkwood leads the team in assists per game and steals per game. In order to beat California, they will both need to continue handling the workload.
Harvard has shot an average of 13% from beyond the arc their past two games. However, in those game, they have outrebounded their opponents by double digits. In order to make up for their inept three point shooting, Harvard will need to work the glass both offensively and defensively.
California Golden Bears
After starting 4-0, California has fallen off an unfathomable cliff. They are 2-6 since then and 1-4 in their last five games. They will have home court advantage as they try to gain back the momentum they had in in early November.
The Golden Bears aren’t led by one player in particular. In fact, no single player leads the team in more than one stat category. Their scoring comes heavily from guard Matt Bradley, who averages almost 18 points per game. Kareem South is their second highest scorer, averaging 11.3 points per game. This guard tandem will need to rally their team if they want to get back into the win column.
As a team, the Golden Bears don’t thrive at much, but their three point percentage is miles better than Harvard. They shoot near 39% from beyond the arc, where Harvard sits at only 31%. In a game that is only laying 2.5 points, three pointers will play a huge factor. They will need to figure out how to limit California’s second chance points, though.

Free Harvard Crimson vs. California Golden Bears NCAAB Prediction: A close game throughout, Harvard pulls away in the final minutes and wins by two possessions.
Harvard is the better team here and although they aren’t great against the spread, they should beat the less talented California team. If Harvard can work the ball inside and play their game, they should win and cover the spread. To the moon, lets rock!
