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
