Columbia at Harvard

The Harvard Crimson has had a big season, but must be disappointed after their loss here last night to Cornell. It was their second loss to Cornell, dashing their hopes for an NCAA Tourney bid, and even at 17-6, no Ivy League team has ever gotten an at-large bid, and they won't either. They will likely be playing in a huge letdown situation here and Columbia likes to play slow, and has a lot of weapons from deep with three players connecting on 40% or better. That should be enough to take a limited possession game, a huge line, and a team in a big letdown situation to a close game. I like Columbia in this one.
