Pennsylvania vs Cornell

Cornell enters this matchup riding a strong five-game winning streak, while Pennsylvania has been unable to find consistency, having dropped its last four contests.

With momentum, roster health, and favorable matchups all in their favor, the Big Red are well-positioned to extend their success. Though the moneyline payout isn't massive, the reliability of Cornell at home makes this a solid wager. [Source: ESPN, Sports Reference]

 
Cornell enters this matchup riding a three-game winning streak, while Pennsylvania has dropped four straight, struggling to find rhythm offensively. Pennsylvania's defense has been spotty, but they have historically matched up well against Cornell's system, particularly limiting open threes. Additionally, Pennsylvania’s leading scorer has struggled in past games against the Big Red, averaging well below his season numbers. With recent trends pointing toward lower efficiency, the scoring total is likely to stay below the set number. The under gets a B grade for solid value, especially given the injury concerns weighing on both offenses.
