Lin-Sanity hit the AE a long time ago

The biggest story in basketball right now is Jeremy Lin of the New York Knicks. The story is just unreal story. The change of words to describe it are endless. However, AE fans saw his talents a long time ago. In fact, Lin was a regular AE opponent for all four of his years at Harvard. UnrankedAE figured we would go along with the story and give a small breakdown of how Lin did against the AE while in college. You can say we have been pulled in by the Lin-Sanity.

Boston U. and New Hampshire had the pleasure of playing Harvard every year Lin was on the team. In 13 games during the "Lin Era", the AE was 5-8 against Harvard. BU was 3-1 against Lin, while UNH was 0-4. Lin averaged 10.15 point per game against the AE, with his worse performances coming against BU and UAlbany in his freshman year (0 pts vs. BU; 1 pt vs. UA). Here is a full breakdown of Lin vs. the AE...
