Pick

These two teams come into this matchup tied for 1st place in the Ivy League standings. Cornell has a very fast paced offense and is scoring 84.9 points per game, but they don’t play much defense. Princeton is only allowing 66.9 points against per game this season, but they have allowed 87 and 90 points in their last two games. Princeton won the first meeting between these two teams and I think they will win this one as well.
