I agree, Yale had a very good team, as well as interesting players. Not only do you have POY Sears, COY Jones, 1st Team All-Ivy Duren, but you get Rhodes Scholar Townsend.

With regards to past Ivy history in the NIT for co-champs, Penn was not invited in 1996. Yale did go in 2002 after losing the final playoff game against Penn.

Sad to read this ending to the story at the New Haven Register, http://www.nhregister.com/sports/20150315/yale- snu...

A disappointed Jones said the fact that there's no real history of Yale basketball or the Ivy League in the tournament hurts the chances more than anything else.

"They don't know how good we are," Jones said. "We had a great year, one of the best Yale's ever had. If we can't get in this year, I don't know how we get in. It's disheartening."



Seeing how most league commissioners lobby to get its teams into post-season tournaments, does the Ivy League leadership bear some responsibility for the snubbing of its co-champion?
