Harvard has been strong on the road all season and sits atop the Ivy League at 9-1. The Crimson is 11-4 ATS against a team with a losing record. They also have a 65-34 straight-up mark away from home and Harvard has won a program-record 12 straight Ivy League road games dating back to last season. Harvard has won eight straight games, all in Ivy play, and with a pair of victories this weekend can set the program record for consecutive Ivy League wins (nine). They failed to cover the last game, a 63-55 win over Princeton, but the Crimson is 7-2 ATS following a spread loss. Harvard is #11 in CBB in scoring defense, allowing 56.6 points per game. They face a Cornell team that is struggling on defense, and is home from a four-game road trip. Coming home will help the offense, but the defense allowed 81 points and eight three-pointers in a loss at Dartmouth on the trip. And Harvard scored 40 second half points when these teams met two weeks ago in a 61-40 rout. Take Harvard and the game OVER the total.
