They’re the cream of the Ivy League crop, but can the Yale Bulldogs beat the Penn Quakers a third straight time, this one in the title game to book a ticket to the NCAA Tournament?
After the Quakers gutted out an incredible OT win to knock out Harvard in the semis, my Penn vs. Yale predictions and college basketball picks have the Bulldogs taking care of business.
Pennsylvania vs Yale prediction
Pennsylvania vs Yale best bet: Yale -10 (-116)
The Yale Bulldogs have just two losses in their last 14 games and didn't have to sweat against Cornell in the semifinals. They’re the only Ivy League school ranked Top 3 in scoring (81.7 ppg) and defense (70.4 ppg).
Meanwhile, the Penn Quakers won a 62-60 slugfest against Harvard and have had their problems with the Bulldogs, losing both matchups this season, six straight, and nine of the last 10 meetings.
Yale was only 12-15 ATS this year, but I don’t know how much the Quakers have left in the tank this afternoon.
