After last night’s disheartening performance at Columbia, we know that it likey means more minutes for Penn’s three point guards. Normally, Penn’s ballhandlers — Kevin Egee, Aron Cohen and Harrison Gaines — combine for just over 40 minutes, meaning that only one of them is on the court at most times. But last night, with no Tyler Bernardini, they got 31, 13 and 21 minutes, respectively.
Bernardini’s injury is now confirmed to be a concussion sustained in practice on Monday. He won’t see the court tomorrow in Ithaca, either, since he didn’t make the trip.
Some other notes from the game:
- Think 2-for-11 (18.2%) was Penn’s worst three-point showing of the season? Not even close. Losses to Loyola (4-23, 17.4%) and North Carolina (3-19, 15.8%) were worse, as was last week’s 0-5 showing against Dartmouth.
- The game ball for Columbia goes to K.J. Matsui: 6-10 shooting, 5-8 on threes for 17 points in 31 minutes off the bench.
- Cameron Lewis and Andreas Schreiber combined for 8 fouls in 29 minutes.
Here are the other results from last night:
Cornell 72, Princeton 61
Yale 83, Harvard 70
Brown 77, Dartmouth 51
And here are the betting lines for tonight’s games:
Princeton at Columbia (-6); Over/under: 115
Penn at Cornell (-13.5); Over/under: 144.5
Dartmouth at Yale (-9.5); Over/under: 134
Harvard at Brown, (-9); Over/under 141
What do you think is the best Ivy League bet to make tonight?

Against the line, I’d go with Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth and Brown. The Big Red haven’t beat Penn in a long, long time, but it would take a shocker to keep that drought going. Harvard and Princeton have yet to win on the road, and also have little chance this week. Dartmouth got killed by Brown, but that 9.5 line is too generous.
