Harvard -2 1/2
The market is dangling a short number here because Penn enters on a 7-1 run, but this matchup has already shown us what it is - a pair of tight, defensive games decided by a possession or two. Harvard brings the more reliable tournament profile. The Crimson lead the Ivy League in free-throw shooting (79.8%), a major edge late in close games, while Penn sits near the bottom of the conference at 68.6%. Harvard also owns the conference's top scoring defense and has the perimeter discipline to challenge a Penn offense that relies heavily on the three-ball. In what should be another half-court battle, backing the better defensive floor and late-game shooting makes sense.
Good Luck!
