Columbia at Yale

Columbia is in a familiar role as they have come to Yale as an underdog nine times in the last 10 years, covering seven of the nine while winning four of them outright. The Lions haven't shot as well as they are capable, but they have hit an amazing 73.2% of their free throws which will help them stay close in this one. Yale has had trouble on the defensive end which could allow Columbia to breakout of their shooting woes. Yale is giving up 47% from the floor and an equally bad 38% from behind the arc. These teams are closer than this pointspread, and Columbia has come in here and won as an even bigger dog than this. If they knock down some 3's they have a chance to steal this one.
