1985-86 Harvard Men's Basketball

Roby's Crimson Exhibits Fresh (men) Look

Senior guard Carmen Scarpa, sophomores Todd Litfin and Bill Whelan, and freshmen Tedd Evers (a good outside shooter), Schernecker, David Lang, Rutledge Simmons, DeGreeff and David Wolkoff round out the roster.

Harvard plays a nine-game non-conference schedule before the Ivy season opens up with the infamous Penn-Princeton trip during January reading period. Among the Crimson's non-Ivy opponents is Duke, currently the third-ranked team in the country.

Realistically, the cagers will have a tough time breaking into the top four in the Ivy League, where defending champ Penn, Columbia, Yale and Cornell are consensus picks to hold sway.

But Harvard may well surprise a few teams: "We're certainly not writing off the season," Roby says, "let me tell you that." 1985-86 Schedule NOVEMBER Tuesday 26  MERRIMACK  8:00 p.m. Saturday 30  VERMONT  7:30 p.m. DECEMBER Wednesday 4  at Holy Cross  7:30 p.m. Saturday 7  at New Hampshire  3:45 p.m. Tuesday 10  MIT  7:30 p.m. Saturday 14  at Manhattan  8:00 p.m. Tuesday 17  STANFORD  7:30 p.m. Thursday 19  ST.
