You never know, but you are right. They are bigger and quicker, so some magic will be required. I hope we did not use it all up in Ithaca.

My wife and I went and Cornell was a great host. The games were all exciting.

Go Quakers !!!

Illinois with a very easy 35 pt margin win. Up 40 pts at one point. Did the Ivy league send the right team or was this an aberration of the ILT?

You send your third best team, they're not in a position to win vs a 3 seed. A product of the post season tournament. So, of the four schools who participated, who had a great experience? Only 1 and off they went to a disappointing finish.

We will see what Princeton does against Okie State.

But if you are going to argue that the tournament served the men poorly, fairness dictates that it served the women well. Clearly, Columbia and Harvard looked strong after going through conference tournament play…

Of course, if you think the women are irrelevant, the say so.

Hardly. This is an apples and oranges discussion, please don't tell me the depth of high quality basketball is the same for men and women in Division 1.

I was told that foreign students aren’t eligible for NIL payments. Don’t know if that’s true.
In any event, Yale should have played Illinois. Yale was the best Ivy men’s team . The Penn game was an aberration. Tie score at the end of regulation despite 40 points from Power.

The assertion that Yale should have gone to the NCAA is based on moral philosophical grounds- right? You guys don’t actually think Yale would have done any better- right?

They got smoked by Alabama in the regular season. Bama was a four seed.

They lost to UNCW at home on Monday when the season was on the line.

Yay for them for winning the regular season title. But nobody was going to confuse them with 1979 Penn, 1998 Princeton or 2010 Cornell.
