Harvard vs Cornell Injury Report

Neither Harvard nor Cornell have a player listed on its injury report.

Harvard vs Cornell Prediction

Both Cornell and Harvard are on the end of back-to-backs, but it’s Cornell that doesn’t have to travel. Harvard is playing a third straight-road game. Cornell is playing some of its best ball of the season with wins in five of its last six games, and it’s covered four of those games. Harvard has seven road losses this season and has had issues defensively, which includes allowing 80-plus points in three straight games. I doubt playing on the end of back-to-back and potentially tired legs won’t help those defensive issues. Cornell is on a roll and is fifth in offensive scoring and first in offensive field goal percentage. Cornell should give Harvard a hard time. Give me Cornell and whatever the line is.
