I like little redneck southern home teams to cover with corrupt refs, gotta go find some.Comment -
I liked this one off the bat too. Princeton has some quality out of conference wins and I think Ivy League teams generally play well at home. This is essentially a PK and while the small home favorite is scary, there is nothing between these two teams on paper that says Harvard will win. I think if you put a 3.5-4 line people would stay away, I dont think the small home favorite is such a big deal here.Comment -
Hahah actually I'm staying away, a pure lean of mine would say take this one too, but Harvard won at BC and beat Colorado earlier this season.
Seems like Princeton is the play but there are far easier matches to cap then this one.
I recommend staying away.Comment -
Good luck today!Comment -
Harvard is the play, good luck though.Comment -
Harvard wins this outright in a very close game. 65-62 HarvardComment -

Good luck with this playComment -
Harvard has not won at Princeton in 22 years.Originally posted by kbm222Comment -
I wouldn't trust a Tommy Amaker-coached team in a critical road game. There's a reason that after 11 years Michigan finally won its first Big Ten ACC Challenge road game this year: because Amaker was coaching the team for the first 6.Comment -
With the ivy league you never know. I would stay away from this one.Comment -
I'd rather save my money.Comment -

Not playing anything tonight, but if I had to I'd like the over in Princeton/HarvardComment -
if this young Harvard goes into Princeton and wins, they can have my money.
but they are going to have to take it away from a talented, experienced
home team which is also undefeated in Ivy and 14-4 on a Friday Night.
here is a preview:
Harvard (15-3) at Princeton (14-4)
The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Friday, February 4th, 7:00 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Jadwin Gym (6,854) -- Princeton, New Jersey. Television: ESPNU. Home Record: Harvard 10-0, Princeton 7-0. Away Record: Harvard 5-3, Princeton 5-3. Neutral Record: Harvard 0-0, Princeton 2-1. Conference Record: Harvard 4-0, Princeton 2-0. Series Record: Princeton leads, 123-38.
GAME NOTES: The Harvard Crimson will attempt to continue its eight-game win streak tonight as it faces a tough Princeton Tigers squad in an Ivy League showdown at Jadwin Gym.
Harvard has not lost since Dec. 22nd. The Crimson's current win streak stands as the seventh longest active streak in the nation and is the program's longest since the 1984-85 campaign. A win tonight would mark Harvard's longest win streak since the 1945-46 season.
While the Crimson is rewriting history, the Tigers will come to rely on history tonight, as they have not lost a home game to Harvard in since Feb. 3, 1989. Princeton's imposing home court advantage is also bolstered by a 7-0 mark at Jadwin Gym this season.
With regards to the all-time series, tonight's matchup marks the 162nd meeting between Harvard and Princeton. The Tigers currently hold a commanding 123-38 lead over the Crimson.
Harvard last played a week ago, downing Cornell, 78-57, to move to 4-0 in Ivy League play. The result marked the Crimson's 13 straight win at home. An efficient offensive effort and a opportunistic defense led the victory. The Crimson handed out 17 assists in the win, as compared to only four turnovers. On the other end of the floor, the Crimson forced 13 turnovers, which resulted in 22 points for the victors. Keith Wright once again put together an impressive showing for Harvard. He posted his seventh double-double of the season, scoring a team-high 21 points and grabbing a team-high 11 rebounds. Laurent Rivard added a perimeter threat from the pine, as he scored 12 points, with all three of his field goals coming from three-point range. Brandyn Curry and Christian Webster each added 10 points in support. Wright continues to drive this team to victory. He paces Harvard in scoring (14.7 ppg), rebounding (8.4 rpg), and blocks (28), while shooting 58.4 percent from the field. Webster and Rivard prove the perfect compliments for Wright. Webster is second on the team in scoring (13.6 ppg), while Rivard stretches the floor to the tune of a team-high 40 three-pointers. Behind these three playmakers, the Crimson scores 71.4 ppg.
Princeton has won four straight games and 12 of its last 13. The Tigers last played on Saturday, earning a 67-63 victory over Yale to move to 2-0 in Ivy League play. They utilized accurate shooting and a strong bench effort to earn the win. The Tigers shot 53.2 percent on the night, including 64 percent in a first half which saw them take a 10 point lead into the break. They also drained 4-of-6 three-pointers in that decisive first half. Kareem Maddox nearly single-handedly led a superior bench effort, tallying 17 points as the Princeton reserves outscored the Yale reserves 22-12 on the night. Mack Darrow was the only other bench player to score for Princeton, as he netted five points in 18 minutes of play. Douglas Davis led the squad with 18 points on 7- of-11 shooting, including a 3-of-5 performance from downtown. Ian Hummer posted a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds and Dan Mavraides added 11 points. Despite starting just three games this season, Maddox is virtually tied for the team lead in scoring at 13.6 ppg and leads the squad at 6.9 rpg. He plays starters minutes, averaging 30.2 minutes per game. Hummer paces the team in scoring at 13.7 ppg, while Davis averages 13.4 ppg and Mavraides averages 13.3 ppg. It is a truly balanced attack, which produces 71.1 ppg. The Tigers allow 65.4 ppg on the other end.
These teams are evenly matched, which essentially lends the Tigers the edge due to their truly favorable homecourt advantage. Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Princeton 67, Harvard 64Comment -
