Why Yale can cover

He is effective from the floor, connecting on 56.3% of his field goals, including 43.3% from 3-point range, and 72.2% from the foul line. He has registered three double-doubles on the year, including a 34-point, 10-rebound effort against Cornell in a 76-58 win on Feb. 25.

Why Princeton can cover

The Tigers are led by senior forward Tosan Evbuomwan, who poured in 21 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished out four assists in the semifinal win over Penn.
