Yale vs. Penn Prediction
Yale is 7-0 in Ivy League play this year and are currently on a nine-game winning streak. Although Yale has yet to lose in conference play, they have not really played anyone great. Yale has already played Penn this year where they won by 16 at home and covered the -13.5-point spread. Yale has covered six out of their last seven games, and I think they come back to reality tonight.
Penn is 1-6 in conference play with their only win coming from Dartmouth at home. On paper, this looks like a Yale smash spot... but it is not. Penn is an underrated team that has yet to prove themselves. This is a perfect opportunity tonight at home to shake up the Ivy League standings. I am not sure that Penn can win outright tonight, but I think it will be a close game.
KEYS TO THE GAME FOR PENN:
- Limit Danny Wolf
- Knock down the 3's
- Win the rebounding battle
- Take care of the ball
- Let Clark Slajchert take over
If Penn can get Slajchert hot and let him do what he does best, score the bucket, I think the Quakers will be fine. This team is phenomenal from behind the arc, and I think this will be a factor as they are at home and familiar with their gym. If Penn can limit Yale's runs and take care of the ball, I think that this game could come down to a last-second shot tonight in Philadelphia.
Take Penn +6 tonight! Let's cash!
