Harvard University will win its first outright Ivy League men’s basketball title and end a 65-year National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament absence, according to a preseason media poll.
Harvard, which tied Princeton University atop the standings and lost in a one-game playoff for an NCAA berth last season, received 16 of the 17 first-place votes and 135 points, the first time it’s topped the poll, according to an e-mailed release by the league. Votes are cast by reporters who regularly cover the conference.
