The Quakers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Bears are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games and 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The over is 13-6 in Quakers last 19 overall. The under is 16-5 in Bears last 21 overall. The road team is 22-8 ATS in the last 30 meetings.
Both of these teams have been hit or miss, and I guess the Penn Quakers will have the edge because they have the best player on the floor. However, the Brown Bears are at home, which has to count for something. Penn is also losing on the road by an average of 11.5 points while shooting 40.9 percent from the field. Toss up game, I’ll give Brown the edge because of home court.
