Both teams in this rivalry have only pride to spend energy on tonight. It really comes down to who has been playing better lately. Reasons I like Princeton:
Princeton has played much improved basketball over the 2nd half of the season compared to the first half; their players are maturing
Princeton gets as many possessions of the ball at home as Penn on the road for the last six games
Princeton has played more games without Buffmire, so are used to 6 man rotation; expect Buffmire out with mono yet tonite, but if he finds the energy to play the last home game, a plus for Princeton
Penn will not play Ebede tonite with his bad groin; jumpshots and rebounds are tough with a pulled groin injury 10 days old and they want him in shape for the big dance.
The Under is my lean. The last few games for each of these teams has been under tempos and with a six man rotation going on each side of the ball there will be no run and gun basketball tonite. Look for Princeton to dictate home court pace and the game to be very close and Under 108. Dr Dave
