Harvard returns 10 letterwinners from last year's team which went 22-8 overall, won a share of the program's fifth-consecutive Ivy League title and reached the NCAA tournament for a fourth straight year. Among the many historical marks the Crimson will be chasing in 2015-16, Harvard will attempt to become just the second program in Ivy history to win six consecutive titles (Penn 1970-75) and the first to win 20 games in seven consecutive years.

Harvard is led by Tommy Amaker, The Thomas G. Stemberg '71 Family Endowed Coach for Harvard Men's Basketball, in his ninth season. Amaker has turned the Crimson into one of the winningest programs in the country, boasting a .764 win percentage (139-43) since the start of the 2009-10 campaign, good for the 11th-highest in the NCAA in that time.
