\n\tPrior to the season, the Crimson elected juniors, White and Wright as captains of the 2025-26 Harvard women’s basketball team.\u00a0
\n\tHarvard is coming off arguably its best season in program history in 2024-25 as it accumulated a program-record 24 wins, won its first Ivy League Tournament Championship in program history, and returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007.\u00a0
\n\tDespite losing two historic players and its top scorers in Harmoni Turner<\/a> and Elena Rodriguez<\/a>, the Crimson still welcomed back 11 players from its championship roster and added five first-years in a highly touted recruiting class.\u00a0

\n\tAmong its returners, the Crimson is led by its trio of seniors in Anderson, Glenn-Bello, and Krupa.\u00a0 The senior class brings experience, scoring, defensive prowess, and All-Ivy accolades from their first three years with Harvard.\u00a0
\n\tMoore has continued to lead the Crimson back into the national spotlight and build her legacy at the helm of the program.\u00a0 The fourth-year coach has the most wins in the first three seasons for a head coach in program history.
\n\tPrior to this season, Moore was named to the preseason watch list for the 2026 Kathy Delaney-Smith Mid-Major Coach of the Year award.\u00a0 Moore was one of five finalists for the award last season.
\n\tIn the first Mid-Major Top 25, Harvard ranked second in the poll while receiving six first-place votes.\u00a0 Most recently, despite falling the Crimson still ranks inside the top 10 checking in at No. 9.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0
\n\tThe Crimson was picked to finish third in the Ivy League Preseason Poll, receiving 126 points, including on first-place vote.\u00a0 Harvard trailed only Princeton (163) and Columbia (147).
\n\tThe Crimson and the Razorbacks have faced off twice in history.\u00a0 The first meeting between the two teams came in the NCAA Tournament Round of 32 following Harvard’s historic win over Stanford as a No. 16 seed.
\n\tThe two teams last met 25 years ago and the Razorbacks won 87-48.\u00a0
\n\tHarvard is looking for its first ever win versus a SEC opponent as it is currently 0-13 all-time.\u00a0
