\"Week
Yale are three point favorites over Pennsylvania<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tonight’s game brings together two mediocre teams that are fighting to stay alive in the Ivy League Standings.\u00a0 Pennsylvania (10-12) is 4-4 in Ivy League Play and Yale (12-11) is 5-4 in Ivy League play.\u00a0 Yale has won 3 of their last 5 games, with wins coming over Dartmouth, Columbia, and Cornell, and the two losses were suffered against Ivy League powerhouses Harvard and Princeton.\u00a0 Pennsylvania had dropped four straight before winning 70-62 over Brown last night.\u00a0 Their four losses were to Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, and Columbia.<\/p>\n

Both teams are close to even in point differential.\u00a0 Pennsylvania is -1.5, as they score 67.3 a game but give up 68.8.\u00a0 Yale is +1.2, scoring 67.8 a game and giving up 66.6.\u00a0 The combinative output of the teams’ scoring average is 135.1, making an ‘over’ a prudent bet.<\/p>\n

Some betting trends:<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania is 1-7 SU in their last 8 road games and they are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games at Yale.<\/p>\n

Yale is 4-1 SU in their last 5 home games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 against Pennsylvania.\u00a0 Yale is 6-19 SU in their last 25 against Pennsylvania and the total has gone OVER in 6 of the last 9 games between the teams.<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania is led by the quartet of Zach Rosen, Jack Eggleston, Tyler Bernardini, and Miles Cartwright.\u00a0 The four combine to average 52.2 points per game, 78% of the Quakers total scoring.\u00a0 Jack Eggleston, a 6’8″ senior forward, leads Pennsylvania in minutes played with 38.3 minutes per game, and is second in scoring with 14.4 points per game.\u00a0 Last game against Yale he went for 13 pionts and 8 boards.\u00a0 He has scored in double figures in all but 5 games, and Pennsylvania is 2-3 when he failes to reach double figures.\u00a0 Rosen, a 6’1″ junior point guard, averages a team best 14.5 points per game and a team best 5.4 assists per game.\u00a0 His best game came in a 1 point loss to Harvard when he scored 21 points and dished out 13 assists.\u00a0 Rosen had 16 points and 5 assists last game against Yale.<\/p>\n

Yale is led by big man 6’10” junior forward Greg Mangano.\u00a0 Mangano puts up 16.0 points per game, grabs 9.7 rebounds per game, and blocks nearly 3 shots a game.\u00a0 His interior presence gives most teams immense trouble, as few teams can find someone to matchup with Mangano’s size.\u00a0 The problem for Yale is that there are not enough other players creating mismatches or playing significantly well enough for Yale to be much more than a middle of the road Ivy League ballclub.\u00a0 Mangano will have his way with Pennsylvania.\u00a0 The Quakers have no one capable of matching up with Magnano as their tallest rotation player is only 6’8″<\/p>\n

Mangano is expected to be enough to overcome Pennsylvania.\u00a0 Moreover, Yale is at home where they are pretty good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
