Penn will win, but the Quakers won't cover the number. Take the points and the Yale Bulldogs tonight at The Palestra.
The Penn Quakers have made their annual rampage through the Ivy standings at 10-1 with a 13 points per game average margin of victory. The loss was a 77-68 defeat to the same Yale team the Quakers are giving double digits to tonight.
In that game, Penn went just 8-21 from the foul line and the Eli killed them on the offensive glass. Yale is solid team with only won conference road loss and fit 4-2 dog, 8-4 road, 10-3 winning record, and 6-2 extra rest angles. You always pay a 2-3 point premium with Penn in Ivy play, and that's translated to 5-5 against the spread home record for the Quakers.
Penn has won the last nine meetings on this floor, but is just 2-6-1 against the spread in those games. Looking at instant replay here with Penn coming away with 5-8 point win and Yale backers goint to the pay window.
Play: Yale +10
