If both Harvard and Penn end the season 12-2 does this ensure that one of the two will get a bid to the NITs? What happens if neither team wins the Ivy tournament, does the higher seeded team get a bid or will some other method be used like higher RPI? |

Harvard gets the NIT bid since it wins the tiebreaker vs Penn. This is what I was afraid of this year--a potential 23-9 Penn team might not have the chance to make any postseason tourney.

Only if Harvard is declared the champion does it get the bid. I don't recall hearing that the Ivies have changed the long time rule that both teams which tie are declared co-champions. Unless it has changed, the league is not assured of an NIT bid. |

I believe Harvard, as the 1 seed, gets an NIT bid as a consolation prize after they lose to Penn next Sunday. |

Don't jump to conclusions- maybe they'll lose to Cornell! They went 2OT in Cambridge last night. |

Don't think it matters. I think they get NIT or NCAA regardless. |

I know. I was just saying Harvard might lose to Cornell before they can lose to us. They are welcome to the NIT bid either way. |

Again, they have to be declared the champion in order to get the bid. Unless you have seen somewhere that the Ivy first seed gets the bid, then the Ivies won't get an NIT bid in the case of a tie (or Penn gets it if it loses, as well, which I do not believe is the case). |

Harvard received the Ivy League Trophy at Lavietes tonight because they won tie breaker over Penn. Hopefully, aggressive OOC scheduling will have the Crimson ready for NIT or NCAA. Wonderful coaching by Amaker to overcome absences of top two point guards. |

Please provide a link to proof of this. I don't recall any change in the Ivy rule that ties are co-champions. That's why Yale did not get an NIT bid in '15. |

Believe Penn and Harvard are Co-Champions by Ivy League rules, but Mike James pointed out on Twitter that the NIT bid is only guaranteed to the 1 seed if they lose by NIT/NCAA rules. |

The two issues are separate. Yale didn’t get an NIT bid because no team was established as a one-seed, not due to the co-champs distinction. Now we establish a one-seed, so we do get the auto-bid to the NIT. Doesn’t matter if we call our tied leaders co-champs or not. Just need to establish a 1-seed to get the bid. |

when you say that the auto bid was the only way to get the bid, did you mean that's the only possible way to get a bid ever for the Ivies or just that practically speaking this year, no Ivy would have a good enough resume to qualify for an at large- NIT bid? |

Correct - this year. The Yale exclusion in 2015 was pretty shocking, but Princeton got it the next year. But this year... no profiles close to NIT caliber (which is basically the next 20-25 teams off the bubble). |

Yale didn’t get an NIT bid because no team was established as a one-seed, not due to the co-champs distinction. Pretty sure this happened to the women as well a couple of years earlier. We had a three-way tie and Dartmouth ended up on top to go to the NCAA. The other two (can't remember who they were) saw their seasons end. |

Is the NIT as profile conscious as the NCAA (not that it is always obvious how the NCAA decides)? Despite RPI/Pomeroy/SOS, I could see a conference co-champ with 23 wins having an appeal. |

It's even worse for mids, if possible. That Yale team was 64th in RPI, had an 11-6 road record, 95 NCSOS, 109 overall SOS and was 3-4 vs. 51-100 ranked teams. And it got passed over for an Alabama team that was 85 in the RPI, 4-7 road, had a 141 NCSOS and was 1-7 vs. RPI Top 50 and just 4-5 vs. 51-100. In fact, these days that win at Harvard would have been a Quad1 win for that Yale team, matching the number that Alabama had in 8 tries, despite only having 3. Sadly I don't hold out a lot of hope for the NIT. I would suspect that Penn would enter one of the other tourneys, though, in a way that Harvard, Princeton and Yale have started to waver a bit on in recent years. |

Got it. I always presumed Yale’s situation there was about timing and not that they actually got passed over. But if they did, agreed that Penn this year would have no shot. I also think you are right that Penn will play postseason basketball, one way or another. It’s different from some of the other schools where they’ve done it before, etc. I think Penn will both want to get the seniors the extra game(s), and get some experience for the future. |

For comparison, what was the resume of 1999 Princeton? |

Different era NIT, since they didn’t auto-bid regular season champs who lost in their tourneys, |

So, won't it be great when Cornell and Yale face off for the tourney final and NCAA bid? Then the NIT can have its choice of harvard and the quackers

I guess for some odd reason I thought a Penn team with this record might have an at-large shot if they don't win next weekend. I know better now, sadly. I'm not a fan of those minor tournaments though. I would not be upset if they shunned them (unless we got home game, that might change my mind) |

The extra practice time with the players you have returning next year can help, can’t it? |

https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/a rticle/2... Perhaps some schools will not want to pay for the redo to their courts ... alowing lower ranked teams entry Not sure how helpful evalating moving the 3 point line back 1 foot 8 inches to FIFA distance will be, as this will likely change many teams strategies and it take time to implement a new approach .. Not sure if this will impact the women’s NIT as well. |

No sour grapes here, PN. Sorry you misunderstood my post. I've learned that life does not always guarantee second chances and that part of it involves learning how to accept defeat and, hopefully, learn from it. Actually, I feel that harvard/quackers should not have to go through the prelims to prove once again that they are worthy champions. Instead of the tourney we should have a one game playoff to determine both the Champion and the NCAA bid. So, congratulations quackers and cantabs on fine seasons. I wish you well IF you have post seasons. |

Home games are expensive (used to be $60K for CBI and $30K for CIT). Also used to be that the CBI would let you host for free if you agreed to be a “pod†participant in an auto-semis MTE (that is, you agree to go to someone else’s secondary site). Penn doesn’t have any MTEs to offer for a little while, so my presumption is that the Quakers would have to pony up to host. |

when Penn played Butler at the palestra in the CBI it had a B league NBA feel to it. No defense. |
