Pick: Harvard 74, Cornell 60

PRINCETON (10-9, 1-2 Ivy) at BROWN (7-14, 1-3)

Brown shocked the Ivy basketball world by upsetting Princeton in each of the past two seasons, but if it wins tonight, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise.

The Bears played the Crimson tough last week, fighting back to stay in the game on a number of occasions. Sean McGonagill and Stephen Albrecht form a talented guard duo, though they can get a bit trigger-happy at times, firing up threes like they’re the twin sons of Ali Farokhmanesh.

The Tigers, meanwhile, continue to struggle, and have already lost as many Ivy games as they did all last season.

Pick: Brown 67, Princeton 62

COLUMBIA (12-8, 1-3) AT DARTMOUTH (4-16, 0-4)

Put it this way: You could take a team of the five least athletic Lions of all time—let’s say Matt Millen, Snagglepuss, the Cowardly Lion, Joey Harrington, and Lionel Mandrake from Dr. Strangelove—and it would still beat Dartmouth.

Pick: Columbia 66, Dartmouth 63

PENN (11-9, 3-0) AT YALE (13-5, 3-1)

This is the best game of the weekend by far, with enormous implications for the only two other squads with legitimate postseason aspirations this year (you know, assuming Yale doesn’t decide to go on spring break again instead).

The two Player of the Year frontrunners and Ivy scoring leaders, Yale’s Greg Mangano and Penn’s Zack Rosen, will be going head-to-head. And while Quakers are supposed to be a peaceful people, emerging from Yale with a win is going to require a lot of fight.

Penn, which starts four guards and a 6’8” freshman forward, simply doesn’t match up well inside with the Bulldogs. The 6’10” Mangano and 6’9” Jeremiah Kreisberg should dominate inside, and though Rosen will try, that’s something he won’t be able to overcome.

Pick: Yale 72, Penn 67
