Subscribe“What’s a nice Jewish boy like you doing in a place like this?”
The Baltimore Jewish Times published this story about Brett Harvey, a senior guard on Loyola University’s basketball team and the only MOT on the squad. In fact, he is the only Jewish student-athlete in the entire school.
“I liked the school, the campus and Baltimore. I was assured by Coach [Jimmy] Patsos that being Jewish would not be a problem,” added Mr. Harvey. His religion has not been an issue whatsoever, says Mr. Harvey. “The only required course I have to take is a theology class and that isn’t really a Catholic course,” he noted.
According to the article, Harvey — a 6’1″, 175 lb, guard from New York City — “was instrumental in the Greyhounds’ 72-67 upset victory over the University of Indiana on Dec. 22 in Bloomington. Mr. Harvey paced Loyola with 25 points, five assists and four rebounds.” It was Loyola’s first win against a Big Ten team in school history.
Meanwhile, Jon Scheyer continues to come up big for Duke (13-1). He scored 31 points in the team’s 86-65 win over Iowa State on Wednesday.
