Harvard's Amaker set for familiar foe in UNC

Posted Mar 18, 2015
Harvard head coach Tommy Amaker is very aware of the UNC basketball program. The former Duke player and assistant coach has faced-off against the Tar Heels 34 times since 1984. On the eve of match-up No. 35, though, Amaker is insistent that it’s not about him, it’s about his Harvard team that is making their fourth consecutive trip to the big dance. “I try to keep my history out of it,” Amaker said.
