You're repeating what is already in my write-up:
And let me tell you this, Yale is the better team.
The rest of the write-up explains why you should fade the better team in this spot.

Much appreciated!

on paper seems like the pressure should be on Yale but once the ball is tipped pressure is off, its just a game now. Harvard players know Yale beat them last time when it was Harvard that blew the league title and tourney spot. Anyobodys game at this point, just because the Spurs choked doesn't mean all the teams in that situation will.

Exaclty.
Yale had their chance to go to the Big dance for the first time since 1962. They blew it...in an incredibly beautiful fashion.
Harvard is not as good but they are very good (in their own league in their own right).
They have second life and will make the adjustments necessary to win this.

F'n public lemmings driving this line up.
If you can get it at 2.5 and buy it to 2 I would say that's somewhat acceptable. The game will be close, but in the end Harvard will take it down. 1 gives me no worries in that regard. As the line rises, the uncertainty sets in.

Completely false.
You don't think the pressure of going to the first tourney half a century was looming over Yale in that Dartmouth meltdown?
For god's sake, they were even afraid to pass the ball even...and that lead to the jump ball.
In a tight game late, Harvard, with house money will take it down while Yake withers.

Good to see us Dirk! It was work, not the haters that prompted my laying off the write-ups.

Harvard has pressure no doubt.
But nowhere near the hand-wringing pressure Yale has after their implosion.
Harvard was going quietly into the night after their loss to Yale. Then Dartmouth came along. Now they come out of a phone booth with a red cape and a blue body suit.

That really is a classic write up, the best that I've ever read, going deep and sharing your personal viewing experience and even venturing into other sports with similar circumstances. The u-tube link was great, very enjoyable for me. The cherry on the cake is to bring this one home with a Harvard win. It kind of set a higher standard for handicapping write ups.
