In case Harvard needed any more incentive for tonight's game, reliable sources have informed The Crimson that a B.U. player was overheard saying that the Terriers would easily defeat the Crimson when the teams met.

Harvard, though, has too much confidence of its own to concern itself with rumors concerning derogatory comments made by the Terriers.

"They can say all they want, but we will let our play speak for itself," Basil said.

Thus, the trash talking has already begun between these two cross-river rivals.

The Crimson, though, clearly knows that its performance on the court will determine whether or not the Terriers are sent home with their tails between their legs.

With the smell of revenge still lingering across the Charles River after the women's soccer team's victory, the women's basketball team now hopes to follow suit and get a little payback of its own.
