Princeton vs. Yale prediction and odds for Ivy League Tournament final

The Yale Bulldogs and Princeton Tigers are the two top seeds in the Ivy League this season and they meet in the league’s tournament final on Sunday at noon.

Yale has dominated Princeton so far this season, winning by 22 at home and 10 on the road in their two matchups.

Now, the Bulldogs find themselves as short favorites on Sunday with a trip to the NCAA Tournament on the line.

How should we bet on this matchup? First, let’s dive into the latest odds:

Princeton vs. Yale odds, spread and total

Princeton vs. Yale prediction and pick

While they both went 10-4 in conference play, Yale and Princeton seem to be on a different spectrum when one looks at the advanced numbers.

Yale ranks No. 61 in the country in KenPom, compared to Princeton at No. 116, and the Bulldogs are inside the top-85 in both adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency this season.

This game is expected to be closer since it’s a tournament final, but I can’t get past the previous results between these two squads.

Not only have the Bulldogs won enough to earn the No. 1 spot in the conference, but they are an impressive 17-8-1 against the spread this season.

That’s because the team not only shoots the ball at a high level, but it limits opponents in that category as well. Yale is 13th in the country in opponent field goal percentage (39.8 percent), and ranks 18th in field goal percentage on offense (48.3 percent).

With two double-digit wins over the Tigers already this season, Yale should roll in this one.
