darrell,

Bad night last night dropping us to 26-15 over the past three weeks. As I mentioned to some folks, streaks always happen. After our amazing recent one, we've had a few off days of late. These things happen throughout the course of a long season. We'll break out of the slump soon and we'll get the best of it in the long run. One pick tonight.

**Cornell -2.5 over BROWN (7:00 Eastern)

Cornell is on a roll on a 3 game winning streak including one of those wins in a pounding of conference dud Dartmouth on the road by 20+, a team in which Brown only defeated by a basket at home. It is important to note that Cornell is 7-4 ATS and Brown is just 2-7. Also, last year, Cornell won this game by 16 on the road at Brown. This could very well happen again this year considernig that Brown has 2 injuries, including guard L. Ruscoe who accounts for about 15% of their offense and has missed the last 2 games. Due to his absence, Brown did not even pass the 40 point mark against Princeton a couple of days ago. The Brown Bears are struggling now and although being at home will be comforting, the Cornell team that has beat Conference mediocres and leaders in Columbia, Harvard and Princeton should not have too much trouble on their hands with Brown. Let's take Cornell and their solid basketball of late against a struggling Brown team given this soft line set by the oddsmakers. Two stars on Cornell here.
