Columbia beat Harvard at home, but other than that they have not been a very good home team. They were -13 against Dartmouth and lost, and then -8 vs. Cornell and lost. Princeton is sitting in 2nd place with games ahead vs. Cornell and Harvard. Those are exactly the two teams that stand in their way to get to the NCAA Tournament. Princeton is smart enough not to look ahead to those games as they need to win tonight and they are the superior team. Normally I would fade Princeton in this spot looking ahead, but now all these games are critical and what exactly is Columbia playing for?

I think the fact that Columbia nearly beat PRinceton on the road will be enough for Princeton to take them seriously. Statistically on the road Princeton has some solid number including shooting 41% from three, but over 70% of their shots will come from inside. Columbia is ranked 120th in 2 point defense, but they are worse at home and over their last 3 are allowing opponents to shoot 57.4%. Princeton has been solid over the years especially after a loss. They are 22-6 ATS following an ATS loss, 21-7 ats L28 foll a SU loss. 36-16 ATS in their last 52 road games and 21-6 ATS in their last 27 Friday nights.
