Wednesday in Boston
The team enjoyed a productive full day in Boston on Wednesday. After breakfast and some scouting, the squad headed over to the TD Banknorth Garden. All of the teams have to sit in on an NCAA presentation on gambling so the guys did that before meeting with the media in the locker room. Coach K, Jon and G also had a press conference in the interview room. After that, the team practiced for about 50 minutes in front of a few thousand fans, signed some autographs and headed back to the hotel. From there, it was on to dinner at a nearby steakhouse. Everyone was excited to see former player/coach and current Harvard head coach Tommy Amaker at the meal! After dinner, the team headed back to the hotel to get some rest, with a big day ahead.

Quote of the Day
“I think our schedule has been ranked the tops in the country and we finished ranked No. 1 in the RPI. And playing that type of schedule exposes strengths and weaknesses. Then you have to adjust as a coaching staff and as a team to position your players the right way. We’re fresh. We’re excited. I think we’re going to be ready to play.”
