As always, Rosen will be a point of emphasis for the Harvard defense, which kept him to 6-of-21 shooting from the floor several weeks ago.
“Rosen is the key to that team. We know he’s going to get his numbers,” co-captain Keith Wright said. “We’re just going to have to do a great job, team-wise, defensively helping [junior point guard Brandyn Curry] as much as we can.”
While Quaker sophomore guard Miles Cartwright totaled 30 points in two games over the weekend, Penn coach Jerome Allen may be forced to go without the final member of the team’s formidable backcourt trio against Harvard.
Senior shooter Tyler Bernardini appeared to aggravate a preexisting foot injury on Saturday against the Lions, and his status remains day-to-day.
After limiting Bernardini to two points on 0-of-5 shooting in the teams’ first meeting, the Crimson may need to shift its attention to the Quakers’ sophomore guard Steve Rennard, who has stepped up in the veteran’s absence.
