In light of recent news that Harvard plans to build a new basketball arena to house the Crimson, we decided to highlight a few of the nation’s best and brightest of arenas in order to get some idea of what features the new arena could have. The new structure will replace Ray Lavietes Pavilion, the second-smallest basketball facility in the Ivy League and projects to be finished in between 2017 and 2022. Here are a few of our favorite spots to catch a game of basketball:
Former men's basketball co-captains Oliver McNally '12 (left) and Keith Wright '12 (right) announced on Friday that they will continue their basketball careers outside the United States.
After achieving their goal of leading the Crimson back to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 66 seasons, former men’s basketball co-captains Keith Wright ’12 and Oliver McNally ’12 aren’t ready to step off the court just yet.
Both players announced on Friday that they had signed professional contracts to continue their careers abroad.
Wright will be playing in Uppsala, Sweden in the Swedish Basketball League, while McNally signed with the Moncton Miracles of Canada’s National Basketball League.
“Couldn’t be happier with the situation that I am going into,” Wright wrote on his Tumblr. “Its an amazing feeling. I finally know the next chapter of my journey and i am ready to go.”
With the Harvard men’s basketball team’s season opener less than a month away, The Back Page is breaking down the Crimson’s non-conference opponents. Each week, we will take a look at two new foes. On Thursday we profiled St. Joeseph's. Next up is Vermont.
In its first game following the Thanksgiving break, the Crimson will take on the defending America East tournament champion Vermont. Last season, the two teams tussled in a close battle in Burlington, Vt., with Harvard ultimately pulling away in the final minutes to prevail, 55-48.
Though the Crimson’s roster has seen quite a bit of turnover since the end of last season, things have been relatively stable in Vermont. Building off a conference tournament upset of No. 1 seed Stony Brook and their subsequent NCAA tournament bid last season, the Catamounts were recently picked to take first in America East in a preseason poll.
Nearly six months after it went viral, the Harvard baseball team's "Call Me Maybe" video is still receiving national attention in unlikely places.
With Halloween around the corner, Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Nicole Bulcher tweeted a picture of herself with fellow cheerleader Katy Marie dressed up as—you guessed it—the Crimson baseball team in the middle of the now famous (or infamous) left-punch-right-punch-double-punch routine.
With the hoards of Head of the Charles fans still trickling out of Cambridge lugging suitcases full of vendor freebies, it’s not a stretch to say that crew is on the mind. For Kelly Bauer, it might be safe to say crew is always on the mind.
Not only is the junior resident of Leverett House a member of the Radcliffe heavyweight squad, but her boyfriend, Nick Jaroszewicz, rows for the men’s heavyweights and her close friend, Greer Rosenbaum, is a coxswain for the Radcliffe heavyweights as well.
As a part of our For Love or the Game series, we asked Kelly a handful of questions and then posed the same ones to Nick and Greer to see who knew her better. The results were worthy of a photo-finish.
