*10* MASSACRE on Princeton.

The Princeton Tigers are just a half game back of first place Yale in the Ivy League, and they can take over the top spot with a home win over Columbia tonight. Princeton's only loss in conference play came on the road at Yale by a score of 79-75. I like Princeton to win big at home tonight.

Here are my keys to game:

1. Previous History - The Tigers have won six straight, and five of those wins came by double digits. They are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight games overall, and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games versus teams with a winning road record.

2. Home Cookin' - Princeton is 11-0 at home, and the Tigers score an average of 83.8 points on 51.9 percent shooting on their home floor. The Lions may be short-handed tonight, with several players questionable due to flu like symptoms.

3. X-Factor - The Tigers failed to cover in a 77-66 win over Brown on Saturday, and they have covered the spread in seven straight when coming off an ATS loss.

Selection: This is a play on the Princeton Tigers (10*)
