Yale is a strong candidate for the Ivy League’s at-large bid this season as the Bulldogs hope to make the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three seasons. Yale has played its best basketball as of late, winning five of six after a 5-5 start and opening Ivy League play with an 80-70 road win over Brown.
Columbia won eight of nine at one point, but the Lions have dropped two of their last three and have not played well on the road. Columbia is coming off road losses to Fordham (87-78) and Cornell (91-79).
Can Columbia keep it close in New Haven, Connecticut on Monday or will Yale cover the big number?
