Team Breakdown - New Hampshire

New Hampshire enters at 1-1, riding a win where Kijan Robinson led the way with 20 points on solid shooting. The Wildcats are averaging 75.5 points per game while holding opponents to just 59.5. They’ve rebounded well early, pulling down 50.5 boards per game, which could help offset Harvard’s more polished frontcourt. Robinson has been their go-to scorer at 14.5 points per game, and the team has shown solid balance with 15 assists per outing. However, their 39.3% field goal mark highlights an inconsistency that could be exposed by Harvard’s defense.

Team Breakdown - Harvard

Harvard, meanwhile, has continued its steady play at home. The Crimson started 1-0 after beating MIT with a strong shooting night, going 48.2% from the field. Sophomore forward Tyler Batties III paced Harvard with 17 points on 62.5% shooting, showcasing his effectiveness inside. The Crimson have averaged 79 points per game and limited their first opponent to just 50. Their +29 scoring margin is a sign of talent at both ends, with a balanced attack that doesn’t rely on one star. Harvard’s 42 rebounds and 10 assists per game show a patient half-court offense built on execution and ball control.

Harvard vs New Hampshire Prediction

This game likely hinges on whether New Hampshire can stay efficient on offense against a composed Crimson unit. Harvard’s ability to defend without fouling and dominate the glass gives them a clear edge at home. The Wildcats will need another big performance from Robinson and better shot selection to keep pace. Harvard’s depth and control of tempo make it difficult for visitors to dictate tempo.
