There was an Eric Carle book I used to read as a child entitled "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?"

Let’s try it:

"Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?"

"I see a terrible basketball team looking at me."

Yes, the Bears continue to underachieve and have lost five straight Ivy games by at least nine, including a 26-point shellacking at Columbia last Friday. This will be a nice way for the Crimson to bounce back from its Princeton loss.

Pick: Harvard 76, Brown 61

COLUMBIA (14-10, 3-5) AT PRINCETON (13-10, 4-3)

The Lions continue to impress. After hanging with Harvard for 40 minutes at Lavietes two weeks ago, they came home and dismantled Brown before losing by just a point to Yale.

He won’t win it, but Brian Barbour deserves serious consideration for Ivy Player of the Year for carrying Columbia by himself after Noruwa Agho went down earlier in the season.

But Princeton, as we know, is tough at home, and I’d expect it to pull out another close one.

Pick: Princeton 65, Columbia 59

YALE (16-6, 6-2) AT DARTMOUTH (4-20, 0-8)

Yale is 6-2 in league play, but it’s been extremely lucky to get there. Its 30-point home loss to Harvard was easily the worst of any team this conference season. Then, after barely squeaking by the Killer P’s at home, the Bulldogs had a rough road trip last weekend, being upset by a point in overtime at Cornell before barely surviving at Columbia.

Though Greg Mangano continues to dominate inside, things just haven’t fully clicked for the Bulldogs.

Luckily for them, they get to play Dartmouth.
