Yesterday: 1-1
YTD NCAA Hoops: 28-18
Penn/Cornell Over 142
I see this game going way over...Cornell doesn't have much bench and as a result they don't play as well on night #2 of the Ivy b2b's...but a big home crowd at Newman should keep Barnes and company going...Penn starters got some rest in 2H at Columbia...tired legs mean less D...Big Red make a lot of fouls and officials really clamped down in 2H last nite.
Thoughts on the other games:
Brown at Dartmouth
Dartmouth may have given up on coach Faucher but I don't like this match-up; Yale won big last night because of their rebounding; Brown's much quicker but they are weak on the boards. Dartmouth's Princeton-style O could keep this within the number. Pattman to have a big night.
Yale at Harvard
Yale is playing really well right now...Harvard has no D and I don't think Bulldogs should have any trouble covering the 9.5. I also like the Over 132.
Princeton at Columbia
I like what Jones has done at Columbia...these kids are playing with a lot of enthusiasm, but they just don't have the talent of Princeton....I wouldn't be surprised to see this one close at the half and Princeton to take charge in the 2H. Columbia is prone to making a lot of TOs and Princeton should have no trouble capitalizing.
good luck
