The set-up: Princeton comes in off a 65-62 win over Dartmouth on Saturday, while the Bears will be eager to back into the winners circle after their listless 63-45 loss to Cornell. Princeton beat Brown 73-54 at home in mid February, but I'm predicting a much higher-scoring affair this time around. Princeton will look to keep the foot on the gas here as it still sits one game back of Yale for top spot. The Bears were actually favored in their last game and they'll absolutely be out to atone for that poor effort, while also being extra motivated to avenge the earlier loss to Princeton as well. Situationally its sets up beautifully for a higher-scoring game.

The pick: Note as well that Princeton's already seen the total go "over" the number in three of four this year after playing a game as a road favorite, while Brown has seen the total fly over the number in ten of its last 12 as a home underdog of pick. Considering all of the above factors, I do indeed feel that this number is a tad low.
