ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll lean toward Princeton here. The Tigers have won eight of their last 10 games with only one real “dud” outing (an 87-65 road loss to Yale) in that time. That said, Princeton does need a bit of retribution after eking out a 93-90 overtime win over Dartmouth the last time these teams met on January 21 at Jadwin Gym. Still, Dartmouth has floundered more often than not this year, and they’ve got just 114 combined points over the last two games. Princeton should be able to cover if they play to their capabilities, but I’ll probably stay away from this one.
