Odds for the Friday games:
Princeton a 2 point favorite on the road at Brown
Yale a 4 point favorite at home against Penn
Dartmouth is, surprisingly, a 1 point favorite at home against Cornell
And unsurprisingly, Harvard is a 15 point home favorite.
All the games are concurrent at 7PM.

This is a must win, which would pretty much assure the Tigers a slot in the tourney at no worse than 8-6. The next four games after this - Yale (a), Harvard (h), Harvard (a), Penn (a) - will all be a greater challenge.

No way Harvard covers.
Tonight is win to survive for Cornell tomorrow. Amaker should rest his five to seven crucial guys as much as possible tonight.
Best case - Harvard gets up to double digit lead, sits starters, and Harvard wins by a smaller margin.

if I were a betting man I might be inclined to give the points and take the home club in this one

We'll see.
As described, if Harvard covers then Amaker lost out on a chance to rest guys like Noah, Mason, Luka and Kale.
That was my NY Bar Exam strategy. Just enough to pass. I worked full time that summer and took the last week to prepare. Turns out Multistate was too easy though!

We’re going to know in about 26 hours whether the Tigers’ utter destruction of Dartmouth and Columbia was an indicator that the team is ready to close on a tear or merely that the Green and the Lions have folded.

Another great defensive start! Offense, like last time, was slow in coming but now here come the 3s. Friberg has already extended his 2+ treys streak - 15 games in a row!
Love this "new look" Tiger team. KEEP IT UP. This is a must win game.

Wright was doing a really good job with the Lilly matchup in the first half after he really struggled to guard him at Jadwin. Too bad he picked up his 2nd foul on what I thought was a pretty weak call.
Jaelin doing a really good job offensively attacking the Brown guards down low, and Friberg has had a great half so far

Tigers go up 16 with strong defense and solid shooting. Lead down to 10 at the half after the Browns hit two bombs. Tosan and Wright each with 2 fouls. Officiating uneven with a lot of bumping of the dribblers getting past the refs but some ticky tack stuff being whistled.

Really good, solid half on the road. Just need to keep it up -- defense first. Buckets will come later.

For what it's worth, Kellman looks to be dressed and wearing a sleeve on his right leg on the bench. With how much time he's missed I'm not sure he'll be much of a contributor at this point, but good to see he's progressing at least

Kellman will need to work on his 3pt shot during the offseason.
Friberg is graduating, so with Tosan not being an outside shooter, whichever big can hit 3s will probably get the job.

We'll they are leaving room for improvement tomorrow night in at least one facet of the game. The FT shooting continues to be absolutely woeful! 2 for 8, including missing front end of two one-and-ones. Otherwise, a brilliant performance.

The FT shooting is so bad, I can't even get mad. It's not really something they can change midseason.
I'm just thrilled to see this team "born again" defensively. We're ready for Yale tomorrow. Win or lose, they won't be playing the same team as last time.

That should do it for the starters as they take a 22 point lead into the U4 timeout. Really impressive game on both ends from all of the major contributors today
