Harvard -8
With 12 total wins, no other Ivy team has more victories than the Crimson. Princeton (1-6 SU on the road) on the other hand has just five total wins and this youthful Tiger squad has benefitted from playing their first four Ancient Eight games at home. They'll get a dose of highway reality tonight against this Harvard squad that is superior in most every statistical category.
Harvard has just finished a stretch where it played five consecutive roadies. That was capped off by a disappionting last-second setback at Cornell last weekend. Look for Frank Sullivan's Crimson (4-1 SU/ATS as a favorite this season) to be ready and focused on what they view as a big bounce back weekend. Harvard is one game back of the Tigers and two games back of Penn, which visits Lavietes Pavilion (Harvard 12-3 SU there since last season) on Saturday.
Princeton relies way too much on the long ball as 55 percent of its shots come from beyond the arc. Harvard plays good defense and I suspect Princeton, removed from its recent home comfort zone, will struggle with its aim in a different gym. Matt Stehle and the Crimson are eager to be back home and they know how to take care of Princeton in Cambridge (last year's 61-47 Harvard win was its second straight series' spread win at Lavietes).
