Cornell bounced back the next night against Princeton in a battle for first place in the Ivy League. The Big Red survived a last-second three from Douglas Davis to escape with a gritty...
...last outcome, 86-50, looms, but every sports movie has an equivalent. Henry Rowengartner surrendered a homerun, hit a batter, and threw a wild pitch in his first appearance for the Cubs in Rookie of the Year. The Little Giants trailed the Cowboys by 21 points at halftime. The Mighty Ducks lost to the Hawks 17-0 before beating them to win the state championship. The Jamaicans finished last in the first heat of Cool Runnings (maybe a bad example because they ultimately lose, but who isn’t jacked up by these Winter Olympics...
...Bulldogs showed a lot of fight against the Crimson last weekend. Ultimately, the team sinks or swims with standout Alex Zampier, who is terrifying to both his opponents and his teammates. He can catch fire and light it up, or he can force it and kill the offense...
...overall records of these two teams are misleading. The last six games provide a clearer picture: Brown, 1-5, and Penn, 3-3. The Quakers topped the Bears three weeks ago on a contentious tip-in at the buzzer. That game was in Providence. This game is in Philadelphia, the fourth of five straight home games for Penn. Zack Rosen’s reputation continues to grow after engineering the upset over Cornell (“We expected to win,” he deadpanned after the game).

Yale handled Penn last time the two squared off, 61-48. In that game, the Quakers shot an abysmal 1-for-18 on three-pointers. This Penn team is playing with far more swagger now than in January, when it was 1-14. But Yale has also been playing well for the last month. The Bulldogs’ only bad league loss came at the start of conference play against Brown. The winner of this game will likely claim sole possession of fourth place in the Ivy. I give Yale the slight edge...
