Pick: Cornell
DARTMOUTH AT YALE

Hear that? It was the sound of this game going on and nobody paying attention.
Pick: Yale
HARVARD AT BROWN
In its first games since standout sophomore forward Leland King (14.6 PPG, 7.8 RPG) left the team, the Bears dropped a pair of road contests to the Gentleman’s C’s. King’s abrupt leave—for which the always-ambiguous “personal reasons” label has been attached—is the fourth in less than a year for the Bears. Per Ivy Hoops Online, senior guard Zeve Sanderson left the team earlier and current sophomores Aram Martin and Matty Madigan left the program after their freshman campaigns last year. Brown will go only as far out of the cellar as Rafael Maia and Cedric Kuakumensah take them, and the pair doesn’t have enough to turn away a motivated Crimson squad here.
Pick: Harvard
DARTMOUTH AT BROWN
Fact 1: Dartmouth announced a ban on hard alcohol last Thursday.
Fact 2: Dartmouth Athletics went a combined 6-11-1 over the weekend.
Causation? Correlation? I don’t feel comfortable saying. But with Brown recently announcing that it will ban registered events with alcohol in all residential areas—and the loser of this game likely dropping to last in the Ivies—I feel pretty confident that one school is going to be drowning its sorrows in Mike’s Hard after this one.
Pick: Dartmouth
PRINCETON AT CORNELL

Football Prepares to Face Georgetown on the RoadI used to be an idealistic young man. I used to think that Harvard students would come to football games if you made them more fun. That deep within every student was the same innate desire to see players batter each other for glory. That getting A’s in college was easy. That Santa Claus was real. That Yale was a good school.
