Pick: Columbia 77, Brown 72
YALE at CORNELL
Yale stole one from Cornell back on Feb. 4 when the Bulldogs erased a 10-point deficit with less than two minutes remaining to pull out a 71-70 victory. I think the Big Red enact a measure of revenge and end Yale’s season on a sour note.
Pick: Cornell 71, Yale 69
PRINCETON at HARVARD
Now that Charlie Sheen has told us the secret to winning is tiger blood, I understand Princeton’s success. But, like Sheen, I don’t think the Tigers can keep this up forever. I keep waiting for a spectacular fallout. So far, it’s been a steady climb of excellence for both Princeton and Sheen—I’m not even sure where the peak is anymore—but this has to end horribly, right? Tell me yes, because I don’t want to live in that other world.
I said it already, but I think Harvard has a championship pedigree. I saw it against Colorado, Boston College, George Washington, and Brown, and I think we’ll see it again tonight.
Pick: Harvard 70, Princeton 65
PRINCETON at PENN
The final kink in the Ivy schedule is this quirky game next Tuesday night between the Tigers and Penn. Given a Princeton loss tomorrow, I hope the Quakers win so that I don’t have to rebook my flight for Spring Break in order to cover a playoff game. I don’t think I’m that lucky though.
Pick: Princeton 65, Penn 61
RECORD LAST WEEK: 6-2 (To date: 30-11)
