...Big Red stumbled out of the gates against Brown, but it deserves a stinker after nearly a month of impeccable hoops. The Quakers gave a spirited effort in Cambridge, especially point guard Zack Rosen, and sit at a very respectable .500 in the conference, but they don’t have the horses to compete with Cornell...
Overlooked coming into conference play, the Tigers have won 11 of their last 12 games and surprised everyone with their start. Columbia struggled against the Big Red and Harvard to start the Ivy schedule but has recovered by winning two of its last three games. Still missing guard Patrick Foley with a separated right shoulder, the Lions rely almost exclusively on Noruwa Agho. If he is on, Columbia is capable of providing the kind of upset that Harvard needs. Against Princeton, though, I don’t see it happening...
...bottom pair of Ivy teams both could use a win. Brown has far more talent than the Big Green, including potential All-Ivy forward Matt Mullery and streaky freshman Tucker Halpern in the frontcourt. But the Bears have a head-scratching resume which features a hard-fought game against Cornell and a stunning loss to Penn. Depending on which Brown team shows up, Dartmouth might have a chance. I say the shame of last place is enough inspiration for the Bears to play well and take down the Big Green...
This matchup is the game of the week. Cornell came into its last hyped game—against Harvard two weeks ago—with such focus that it’s hard to imagine the Big Red won’t be geared up for this game as well. The big difference this time is that the game takes place on enemy territory. Historically, Princeton’s Jadwin Gymnasium has proven to be a hostile atmosphere, but Cornell has already shown poise on bigger arenas such as Kansas’ Allen Fieldhouse. The Big Red has thrived each...
...road doesn’t get any easier for Dartmouth. Eventually, it will steal a win in the conference, but it’s impossible to predict against whom. Until that day comes, I’ll continue picking against the Big Green...
