Amaker said he believes that these aspects of Harvard’s game “are the two things that we focus on, we talk about, we teach, we preach,“ but we will have to wait and see how the Crimson can execute against the Big Red tonight. While two of Columbia’s (10-11, 3-3 Ivy) losses have come to the aforementioned league leader, Cornell, Harvard must ensure that they do not take...
