Pick
I’m backing Yale here. It’s never easy to go on the road and win in conference play, especially in a tight conference like the Ivy League, with so much at stake and pressure as only the top-4 teams make the conference tournament. However, Yale has no margin for error now after losing on Friday and while Princeton’s currently seated atop the Ivy League, it’s a bad matchup against a Bulldogs team that’s won 9 of the last 10 meetings between the two. I think we see a sense of urgency from Yale here so give me the Bulldogs in this one.
