Yale finds themselves 2.5 point underdogs to Columbia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tonight’s Ivy League matchup features the 14-12 Yale Bulldogs against the 14-12 Columbia Lions.\u00a0 Yale has a better conference record at 7-5 than does Columbia, 5-7.\u00a0 Yale is 3rd in Ivy League and Columbia is 5th in Ivy.<\/p>\n

Despite being 2 games above .500, Columbia has a negative point differential of -0.7.\u00a0 They give up slightly over 70 a game (70.3) and score just a tad under 70 a game (69.6).\u00a0 Yale, also 2 games above .500, does have a positive differential of +1.2.\u00a0 They score 67.9 a game and give up 66.8.<\/p>\n

Some betting trends:<\/p>\n

Yale is 8-16 SU in their last 24 on the road and they are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games against Columbia.<\/p>\n

Columbia is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games and they are 2-6 SU in their lsat 8 games.\u00a0 The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Columbia’s last 5 games and they are 9-3 SU in their last 12 at home.\u00a0 The total has gone UNDER in 4 of their last 5 home games and the total has gone UNDER in 5 of the last 7 games against Yale.\u00a0 Columbia is 1-4 SU in their last 5 against Yale and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 against Yale.\u00a0 Columbia is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 home games against Yale and they are 2-4 SU in their last 6 at home 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 Columbia.<\/p>\n

Columbia is led by the backcourt duo of Noruwa Agho and Brian Barbour.\u00a0 The two each play 34 minutes a game and combine for 29.2 points per game (40% of Columbia’s total output).\u00a0 Agho, a 6’3″ junior guard, is leading the way scoring 16.1 points per game and is dishing out 4.5 assists per game in a potent Columbia lineup.\u00a0 He shoots 35.4% from distance (34 of 96) and has scored in double figures in 19 of Columbia’s 26 games.\u00a0 He’s also had 10 games with 20 or more points and hit six threes in a win against Union College.\u00a0 His backcourt mate 6’1″ sophomore Brian Barbour averages 13.1 points per game, 3.0 assists per game and 1.5 steals per game.\u00a0 Columbia is 3-4 in the 7 games in which Barbour has failed to score in double figures and they are 11-8 when he does score in double figures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
