Harvard 59, Central Florida 49

[recap] [box score]

Last week, a Northwestern team that has never been to the NCAA Tournament put the nation on notice by winning the Charleston Classic. This week, a Harvard team that also has never been to the NCAA Tournament put the nation on notice by winning the inaugural Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas.

Harvard blew out a terrible Utah team in the first round, stunned Florida State in a brick-fest in the semis, then beat UCF rather easily in Saturday's final.

In many ways, Harvard is a stereotypical Ivy team. They don't have a standout player; they slow the tempo down; they shoot well; they move the ball extremely well; and they play smart.
