The Big Red versus The Big Green...sounds like the stock market.

Maybe Vegas knows something I don't; Dartmouth has lost ten in a row including 0-6 in the Ivy and they're a 5 point fav???

Cornell is much improved this year, with a couple of decent freshmen to support junior Ka'Ron Barnes. The Big Red are shooting much better this season and shot 51% from the field including 47% from the arc last weekend vs top teams Penn and Princeton.

Cornell only lost by 3 to #1 Ivy Penn before getting taken apart by Princeton on Saturday.

Cornell went 1-11 on the road last year; this year they're a much improved 3-6 even though the 3 road wins were vs some bad teams like Columbia and Army.

Last year Cornell beat Dartmouth in Hanover by 70-61 on senior night after opening up a 20-0 lead to start the game. Cornell outrebounded Dartmouth 41-19 which is bad but still a weakness for Dartmouth; the Big Green have been outrebounded by an average of 9 boards a game in their 6 Ivy contests.

Hey Vegas: if this is a trap I'm stepping right in and taking Cornell on the ML @ +185 to go with it.:thefinger

Superbook,

Do you like Brown tomorrow. I think the bag keeps rolling. Princeton is totally overrated and 9 is too many. Thoughts?

Brown +9 was my #2 choice for Best Bet.

Princeton has to come back after an emotional loss just 3 days ago at Penn.

Brown has some good experienced and talented players.

FWIW I dropped some dough on the ML @ +330 too.
