Record: 35-34
Yale -9 1/2
The public is looking to Yale's four-point win in February, but that game came without Nick Townsend, the Bulldogs' do-everything engine. Townsend leads Yale in scoring and rebounding, and his presence restores the interior edge that showed up in the 77-60 blowout at the Palestra earlier this season. The situational spot also favors Yale. They played the early semifinal and controlled the game late, while Penn is coming off a draining overtime battle that forced heavy minutes from a short rotation. In a back-to-back tournament format, tired legs tend to show up first in perimeter shooting. Penn relies heavily on the three, and if those shots start coming up short, Yale's size and depth can turn this into a double-digit margin quickly.
Good Luck!
