Pick
I’m leaning towards Penn here, but not a game I’m really rushing to bet. This should be a tight game between two of the better teams in the Ivy League, but home court’s mattered as the home team’s won the last 10 meetings and covered in 9 of the last 11 and Penn is trying to play catch up here and a loss would make it really hard for them to push for the regular season title in the conference. Give me the free bucket with Penn here.
