- Analysis
- The way the Penn Quakers were able to pull off Saturday's overtime win is inspiring enough to back them today against the Yale Bulldogs. I think Yale is the better basketball team, but I also think the Quakers can challenge for the outright win. Penn entered yesterday's game leading the league in turnover margin, and that was a factor again in the win, as the Quakers went +9 with just eight turnovers while Harvard had 17. By playing a fundamentally sound game, I think we're going to see the Quakers keep this one close, with a trip to the dance at stake. Yes, Yale has won six straight meetings, but these two just met three weeks ago at Yale, and Penn covered the +9.5-point spread in a four-point loss.
