Harvard vs Penn Prediction
After losing last night to Princeton, Harvard is now 4-10 SU on the road. Penn is coming off an impressive showing against Dartmouth and doesn’t have to travel on the end of a back-to-back. Penn beat Harvard last month as a seven-point underdog while shooting 51 percent from the field and 44 percent from three. Penn is at its best at home, where it’s seen five of its seven wins come. You have to be encouraged by Penn lighting up Dartmouth last night for 88 points on 46 percent shooting. There should be a carry-over effect in this spot. Give me Penn and whatever the line is.
