Brown Bears vs Harvard Crimson Prediction

The Harvard Crimson will beat the Brown Bears. The Brown Bears will cover the spread, and the total will go under.

Statistically speaking, the Crimson have the upper hand in both offensive and defensive efficiency. They average approximately 70.9 points per game, supported by a solid field goal percentage of 47.2 percent. Their proficiency extends to three-point shooting, where they convert 37.1 percent of attempts. Given their superior scoring ability and overall offensive output, Harvard is likely to control the tempo and dictate the pace of the game. Additionally, their solid average of 14.2 assists per game suggests efficient ball movement, which will help them find open looks against the Bears’ defense.

On the other side, Brown averages only 66.6 points per game, relying on a less efficient 41.9 percent from the field and an even lower 30.1 percent from beyond the arc. Their rhythm is further hampered by possessive rebound statistics, as they gather 31.1 rebounds per game, which limits second-chance opportunities. While they have more assists per game than Harvard at 14.5, they still struggle to convert those opportunities into points. Therefore, while I expect Harvard to win, Brown should be able to keep the score within the spread. The overall scoring from both teams appears likely to fall short of the total, leading me to predict that the total will indeed end up under.
