As Valentine's Day approaches, the Harvard Crimson are looking to show some love to their tournament hopes with a win over the visiting Yale Bulldogs. However, Yale is focused on strengthening its position on the NCAA Tournament bubble, boasting a 17-4 record and a 65 NET ranking. A win at Lavietes Pavilion would not only improve their quad record but also give them a crucial edge in the Ivy League standings. The CHD Scout prediction favors Yale by 4.5 points, with Harvard holding a 34.9% win probability.

The Crimson, currently 156th in NET rankings, are riding a three-game win streak and want to extend it against their conference rivals. Harvard's recent form has been impressive, but they still need quality wins to build a tournament-worthy resume. A victory over Yale would significantly enhance their chances, considering it would be a Quad 2 win. On the other hand, Yale's Quad 3 matchup against Harvard is an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to perform against decent opposition.
