Harvard -1 over Penn (should be 3)stay away.
Brown -1 over Columbia (last night drove that down - did not see that coming) bet the over.
Yale -6.5 over Cornell. Yale does not matchup well with the Big Red.
PU -5.5 @ Dartmouth. If I think DC goes big again, I would take them in this game. This should be close. Stephens will need to go off on them to win this.
After last night, my 11-3 prediction looks really good and that probably gets the 1-seed, especially if they win this afternoon. If not, a split with H is likely.

Curious why you think Yale doesn’t match up well with the Big Red. While stylistically different, I actually would have thought the style difference (and the talent level) favored Yale. And while every year is different, Yale has now beaten them 10 times in a row.

My sense after seeing both teams was that Cornell was a bit quicker, but mostly I did not see how Yale was going to keep Morgan and Gettings in check. Gettings got his. Morgan got his looks, just couldn’t hit them from the looks of the box score. Yale shot better and had 21 assists. That tells me a lot.
Looking back, I wish I had gone with my instinct and gone heavy on DC. Terrible spot for PU and may have knocked them out of the tournament. The days of Vermouth are long gone. Makes Penn’s victory look a bit better too.
That Columbia-Brown game looks like it was epic. How many of those can Brown play in a season?
Columbia is not out of it at all though. I see them winning 3 of their next 4 at home and back in the mix.

Yale didn’t play very well at the Palestra, and obviously they miss the injured guys, but they are still much better than Cornell right now. Phils is an excellent perimeter defender, and they have now held Morgan to 13 or fewer points 3 times in 5 tries. Yes, Gettings got his, but Reynolds can play away from the basket too, so even that is not the big mismatch it can be when Gettings is matching up with a slow big.

I still think Yale and Princeton end up in the playoff, though Princeton is going to need to win a few road games to do it.
