Preview
Princeton remains undefeated in Ivy League play. They hold a 15-game winning streak and a 20-3 overall record. Even the Tigers losses were competitive, all coming by some combination of on the road, by single digits, and against ranked teams. They should have a body of work worthy of making the tournament, regardless of if they win the conference’s at-large bid or not. A win here would further boost their chances.
Columbia has won 15 of their last 16 games, with the sole loss coming on the road against Princeton. They finally get the chance to avenge that loss back on their home court in this matchup. A win would give the Lions a share of 1st place in the Ivy League, which helps their chances of gaining a seeding advantage in the conference tournament. Columbia likely needs to win the auto-bid to make the NCAA Tournament.
Prediction
This is a classic rivalry matchup of Lions vs Tigers in the Ivy League. The Tigers got the better of the Lions on their home court, but face an uphill battle on the road. Overall, Princeton is the better team, but this is their toughest game in a while. I see this rematch being far closer, but Princeton still winning it in the end.
NCAAW Picks:
- Princeton 67, Columbia 66 (PRIN +2.5)
