A late-season David vs. Goliath Ivy-league matchup sees the league-leading Yale Bulldogs visit last placed Columbia Friday night.
The competitive schism widens when considering Yale’s current four-game unbeaten streak juxtaposed with Columbia’s ongoing four-game slide.
Tonight’s contest is the first of two meetings between these teams this season.
Yale Bulldogs
As three hungry league foes sit just one game behind Yale for top-seed honors heading into postseason conference play, the Bulldogs can’t afford a letdown opposite outmatched Columbia .
James Jones’ group of standout offensive performers -led by Miye Oni’s 18.1 ppg- must remain focused, while flexing their 33rd-ranked 80.6 ppg vs. lightly regarded Columbia.

Yale just missed its impressive season ppg average while defeating Penn 78-65 in the team’s last assignment, Jan. 9. Oni led his charge with 21 points, as Yale’s defense squeezed the Quakers into 35.1 overall shooting.
Well-rested, Yale will tread hostile waters tonight while hoping to remain apace for the Ivy’s #1 postseason seed –a feat sure to give its owner the inside leverage for an NCAA auto-bid.
Columbia Lions
Backed by fan support, and a nothing-to-lose mentality, Columbia seeks a signature upset Friday vs. Harvard.
Though, this urgency wasn’t apparent Feb. 9 as Jim Engles’ men fell uninspired vs. middling Dartmouth. The Lions came out flat, offering just 25 first-half points, as Dartmouth cruised to a lopsided 82-66 victory.

Over the team’s past four games, Columbia has floundered against Princeton, Penn, Harvard, and, of course, Dartmouth.
Shoddy defense and sloppy execution has beset the Lion’s 18-19′ campaign. Though, a win tonight would brighten the faces of this hard-luck bunch.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Yale is 14-0 SU as the favorite this season.
- Columbia is 8-10 ATS this season.
- Yale is 7-4 SU in road games this season.
- Columbia is 4-4 SU at home this season.
Free Yale Bulldog vs. Columbia Lions NCAAB Prediction:
Though a statistical longshot, the pressure involved with a tight-conference race this deep into the season could create a road letdown when Yale visits Columbia. Again, the home-standing Lions enter tonight’s affair with everything to gain, and no pressure.
When noting each Yale loss this season comes on the road, some credibility must be given to Columbia’s upset potential.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Yale -8.5
However, the talent gap is too wide tonight for Columbia to cover. Behind balanced team-scoring, and a focused understanding of what lays ahead, and before them, Yale will cover its spread and win big.
NCAAB Free Score Prediction: Yale 91 – Columbia 75
