Pick: Columbia
YALE AT DARTMOUTH
The last time Yale went to Hanover, it let the Ivy title slip through its grasp. On a four-game slide, Dartmouth doesn’t look capable of repeating the feat.
Pick: Yale
BROWN AT HARVARD
Brown has long been the league’s backstop. Losing streaks die at home against the Bears, and Friday night—with Harvard getting Edosomwan back from injury—looks to be no different.
Pick: Harvard
PENN AT CORNELL
Even Captain Morgan might not make it out to this one.
Pick: Cornell
BROWN AT DARTMOUTH
After the poise they displayed in two games against a full-strength Crimson, Dartmouth’s recent play has to be considered disappointing. This is a young team whose two best players (sophomore Miles Wright and Boudreaux) are underclassmen that doesn’t excel in any particular area, but is well balanced in most. Wright in particular hasn’t scored in double digits in the last four games and if his team is going to rebound, it needs him to take a major leap.
Pick: Dartmouth
PRINCETON AT COLUMBIA
This game carries heavy importance for Columbia, who still has to travel to Princeton and host Yale at home. The Lions are dependent on when their shaky defense shows up. Against both Yale and Harvard, it stayed close when it was able to force turnovers and fell behind when its opponents hit its shots. Against the league’s second-best shooting team, that’s a recipe for disaster.
