The 2010–11 Harvard Crimson men's basketball team represented Harvard University in the Ivy League athletic conference during the 2010–11 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team played its home games in Cambridge, Massachusetts at the Lavietes Pavilion, which has a capacity of 2,195. The team was led by fourth-year head coach Tommy Amaker. The team is the first men's basketball Ivy League champion in school history.
Preseason
The team was coming off a 2009–10 season during which it set a school record for wins (21), non-conference wins (11), home wins (11), and road/neutral wins (10).[1] However, the team lost its star Jeremy Lin to the National Basketball Association.[2] The team entered the season not having participated in the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament since the 1946 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.[3] It also entered the season as the only member school not to have won at least one Ivy League men's basketball championship since the league was formed during the 1956–57 season.[4] The seniorless team is captianed by Keith Wright and Oliver McNally.[5]
Most preseason publications predicted Princeton would finish in first place and Harvard would finish in second place, although the Sporting News projected that Cornell would finish in first followed by Princeton and Harvard.[6] Breaking a three-year streak by Cornell, the Ivy League media poll selected Princeton as the top team with twelve first place votes, Harvard second with four first place votes and Cornell third with one first place vote.[7] It was the first Princeton team to be the preseason selection since the 2004–05 Princeton team.[7]
Season
During the season, the team lost to its only ranked opponent, #4 Connecticut,[8] but defeated power conference opponents Boston College of the Atlantic Coast Conference and Colorado of the Big 12 Conference.[9][10] The Colorado victory was the teams first ever against a Big 12 opponent.[11] In addition to defeating Boston College, the team defeated other cross-town rivals Boston University and MIT.[12][13] The team also lost to Amaker's former team (as a coach), Michigan.[14] By defeating Princeton at home on March 5 and earning a split of the season series, they clinched at least a share of the 2010–11 Ivy League men's basketball season Championship with a 12–2 conference record. Princeton fell to 11–2 with one conference game remaining to force a one-game playoff for the conferences automatic bid to the 2011 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.[4]
