Neither Yale nor Cornell have a player listed on its injury report.

Yale vs Cornell Prediction

Yale beat Cornell twice back in February and has been the team to beat in the Ivy all season. Yale has lost just one conference game all year. With that said, Cornell has been on fire offensively lately, scoring no less than 85 points in six straight games and covering all of those games as well. The last meeting between Yale and Cornell was decided by four points. Yale has failed to cover three of its last four games and just found itself in a dogfight with Princeton, a game it easily could’ve lost. If Cornell continues this offensive onslaught, this is a game the Big Red could win outright. I’ll take a shot with Cornell and the points.
