He's currently ranked first in the Ivy League in scoring, 27th nationally. He's ranked third in the league in rebounding.

In addition, the 6-ft., 9-in. Encino. Calif, native has upped his career scoring average to 18.0 points per game, and is within reach of the all time Harvard record in this department (18.3 by Keith Sedlacek, 1963-66).

ironically, though Carrabino has earned many honors-including Ivy League Player of the year as a junior. Ivy League Rookie of the year as a freshman and All-Ivy honors a year ago-and has pull impressive numbers in the score books, he is still looking to claim his first Harvard basketball record.

This ought to change by next weekend, however, when Carrabino should become Harvard's all-time leading scorer. Only the second player in Crimson history to pass the 1700 point mark, the forward turned center needs just 71 points to move into first place on the prestigious list.

Carrabino currently has 1727 career points, while Don Fleming scored 1797 from 1978-82. The record will most likely fall when Pennsylvania comes to two next Friday.

THE NOTEBOOK'S NOTEBOOK: McLaughlin now has 97 career coaching victories. There's an outside chance he could pick up win number 100 when Carrabino becomes the Crimson's all-time leading scored next weekend...Carrabino does hold the Crimson mark for most points scored by a freshman (380), but that is not in the record books, and thus not an official record...Fellow senior Co-Captain Bob Ferry needs just six points to move into third place on the all-time scoring list...Of the Crimson's three losses, two have come in the afternoon. Lucky for Harvard, there are no afternoon contests left on its schedule...Harvard's starting five have accounted for 91 percent of the club's minutes played...The trio of Carrabino, Ferry and Duncan have accounted for 77 percent of the Crimson's 1097 points...Three of the Crimson starting five have recorded career highs this season. Duncan (23). Webster (21) and Smith (14) are the three, while Carrabino and Ferry are the two who haven't...Duncan still leads the team in steals (22), but he no longer leads the team in turnovers. That honor belongs to Carrabino (58)...If you go by minutes played, though, that honor belongs to Dodson (10 in 101 minutes)...Harvard's average home attendance is 837. Thanks to Penn and Duke, its average road attendance is 3,058...The Crimson is outscoring its opponents in the first half by an average of 4.6 points. Its opponents are outscoring Harvard, however, in the second half by an average of .8 points.
