Yale (18-5, 6-1) at Penn (12-8, 4-3) – 6:00 PM EST (ESPN+)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to the City of Brotherly Love where the Yale Bulldogs pay a visit to the historic Palestra to take on the Penn Quakers. Yale took care of business in the first half of the vaunted Penn/Princeton double with a decisive 88-64 victory at Princeton last night – they were led by Azar Swain’s 23 points. Last night’s win put Yale in sole possession of first place, and a win tonight would give them the double for the first time since 2015.
Penn has run hot and cold in Ivy League play – they started off 0-2 in January after getting swept by Princeton. That was followed by a 4-game winning streak before losing at home to Brown 75-63 last night. This leaves Penn tied for fourth with Harvard at the moment (Penn owns the tiebreaker for now with a win against the Crimson), but also keep in mind that they will play at Harvard next weekend as the second half of Ivy League play begins. AJ Brodeur (17.0 PPG/9.1 RPG) continues to creep his way towards a double-double.
