Harvard Men’s Basketball just unveiled a brutal 2026-27 schedule packed with home-and-away challenges, starting with an exhibition against UMass and opening the regular season against MIT. The Crimson faces a grueling road trip through Chicago and Northeastern before battling in-state rivals Boston College, Holy Cross, and BU. A highlight? A Duke showdown on Dec. 4 — part of Duke’s Brotherhood Run honoring former player and current coach Tommy Amaker, who played for Duke in the ‘80s and reached the NCAA title game. After finals break, they tackle Saint Mary’s, Bryant, and Dartmouth before diving into Ivy League chaos against Penn, Princeton, and Cornell — all while chasing a 17-win season’s momentum and four returning starters, including two All-Ivy picks. With high stakes and tough matchups, Harvard’s aiming to make noise and earn a spot in March’s Ivy League Tournament.
