Pick: Yale
PRINCETON V. DARTMOUTH
As I’ve alluded to, Princeton cannot afford any more slipups if it means to contend for the Ivy title. Luckily for the Tigers, Dartmouth looks to have pretty much fallen apart after the loss of Maldunas. The Big Green faithful can only hope this year’s setback does not negate a potentially promising future.
Pick: Princeton
PENN V. HARVARD
Harvard’s ugly, brick-laying loss last week to Florida Atlantic raised some questions (“Should we shoot the ball with our feet or our hands?”), but those were mostly answered when Harvard shot 66 percent from the field and beat Dartmouth on the road, 80-50. Facing a hobbled Penn at home should not present too many challenges. Expect the Crimson to coast to victory.
Pick: Harvard
