Princeton has won 12 of their last 14 games and has been led by an outstanding offense that ranks t-9^th in scoring offense, 12^th in FG%, & 18^th in 3P-FG%. Brown gave Princeton all they could handle on their home court, however, the Tigers have looked incredible in their last two games and as Princeton needs a win to keep up with Yale in the Ivy League standings, I think the Tigers do enough in this one to cover this small road spread. Good Luck!
