Pick: Yale

PRINCETON AT HARVARD

Just the other day the staff of the Princetonian announced its 141st managing board. Given their sports coverage includes a story entitled, “Who Really Won the Ivy League?”, however, I would hesitate to believe a Princetonian is capable of understanding the rules of basketball.

Given their undefeated record in conference though, I’ll give the Tigers the benefit of the doubt this one time.

Pick: Princeton

BROWN AT COLUMBIA

Brown’s basketball team is famous for one thing: the Bears' starting forward is Steven Spieth, is the brother of golfer Jordan Spieth. It must be rough when the stands are only full because people think they’ll get a chance to meet Jordan, but on the bright side Brown won’t be in Providence this Saturday. Instead, they’ll be inside the friendly confines of Levien Gymnasium, a place that interestingly enough also has room for a swimming pool, a wrestling gym, and no wifi. Maybe it’ll be better than playing at home? Probably not.

Pick: Columbia

PENN AT DARTMOUTH

A recent article from the sports section of the Daily Pennsylvanian went as follows: “Looking to get back into playoff picture, Penn men’s basketball hosts Harvard, Dartmouth.”

The title doesn’t raise any red flags in particular, but upon further inspection, it would appear the Quakers are actually supposed to be on the road this weekend. I think we finally figured out why Penn still hasn’t won a conference game—they have literally not showed up.

We’re all hoping they show up to play this weekend though, especially given the fact Dartmouth hasn’t won a conference game either, so if anything this is a battle for what may be one of the few chances either team will have at a win.

Pick: Dartmouth
