Have to say I'm a bit shocked at the Princeton line. Oddsmakers don't know how tough the P-P trip is.
I'll be interested to see how tough a game Harvard gives Cornell after Cornell had to struggle to overtime in a slugfest.

The oddsmakers more or less just take the KenPom line for the games we hoi-polloi teams play, I've noticed. KenPom has Yale as a 1-point favorite, which if Knowling plays is probably fair.
(Of course, KenPom doesn't know that Yale can't win at the Palestra and often wins at Jadwin, so...)

Agreed, but I think the 2nd night of this trip is tougher on the road team.

Again, Draft Kings::
yale -1 PRINCETON o/u at 142 have to take PU here but I like the under more
CORNELL -5.5 harvard o/u at 150 don't trust either team right now but always like Cornell games over
PENN -4.5 brown o/u at 142.5 I think Brown goes down but I'll wait to bet this in game. Brown can't be as bad from 3 as they were last night.
dartmouth -4 COLUMBIA o/u at 142 - not letting last night's bad beat deter me here - Go Green

Amen! This is a genuine concern.
With its long bench, Cornell is seemingly a team built for Ivy back-to-backs. Nonetheless, all their starters played 28+ minutes last night and hit double figures to pull out the win with a dominant OT performance. It was among the best overall showings of the year by the Big Red starters at a time when they needed it the most.
Not only this, but Harvard also played their best game of the league season a month ago in Cambridge, topping Cornell 95-89. This is good cause for Earl and company to be on the alert. The Red gave up 60% FG shooting, including 56% from long range.
On the other hand, one might wonder about Harvard's bench management last night in NYC. Even though the Crimson led by 12+ points for 3/4ths of the second half, all their starters still played 26+ minutes.
Harvard's mathematical chances to join the Jadwin 4 remain alive only with a W tonight, so one can expect an all-out effort from them.
