Yale at Columbia

A pair of Ivy League teams that know each other well meet in the CIT. Columbia is not used to tourney play, making its first postseason appearance since 1968. Columbia is off a win and cover, but the Lions are 7-20 ATS in their last 27 games following a spread win. The Lions are favored, but went just 8-6 in Ivy League play. Yale is a dog here, but is a very good team - the only team to beat Harvard this season in conference play. The Bulldogs knocked off a talented Quinnipiac squad 69-68 in the first round at Lee Amphitheater, and then went on the road and won 71-66 at Holy Cross on Saturday. The Bulldogs are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following a win and 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games. And when these rivals meet, the Bulldogs are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Play Yale.
