Pick: Yale 69, Dartmouth 63
CORNELL (10-12, 5-3) AT PENN (13-11, 5-2)
Zack Rosen versus Chris Wroblewski.
The battle of the senior, redheaded, Jewish ballers. It’s going down like a dreidel after too many spins, an overly-dense matzo ball, or some Manischewitz after a long, hard day.
Because after Lin (okay, I mentioned him again) proved this month that Ivy-educated Asian-Americans can indeed play, it’s up to these two to do the same for the Ancient Eight’s Jews. The nation will be watching. Don’t let us down, gentlemen. You’re our best hope.
Pick: Penn 75, Cornell 67
YALE AT HARVARD
I would expect the Bulldogs to play better than they did the last time these two squads met, when Yale scored less as a team than Lin (yes, I know) did against the Lakers. Then again, I recently watched "Due Date," and considering the bulldog in that movie was hanging out with Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifinakis, I’ve come to the conclusion that they can be entirely unpredictable.
The Mangano-Wright matchup will be one to watch again. Mangano, though, will hopefully be a little bit nicer to Wright than he usually is, considering that—as the current Ivy Leaguer with the most NBA potential—he will probably be a big beneficiary of Lin’s (whoops) recent success.
I’d expect Yale—playing for pride after its prior embarrassment, and for its season—to actually show up for this one. But the Crimson doesn’t lose at home.
Pick: Harvard 68, Yale 62
BROWN AT DARTMOUTH
This is it Dartmouth. It’s your best chance. It’s now or never.
You’ve won one Ivy game in each of the last two seasons, and you’re going to do it again.
You don’t think you can? Of course you can! It’s Brown! You can beat Brown!
