In response to bradley
Interesting perspective. Seems weird that the focus is on 4th place. Sort of like NHL hockey. Last year, the most meaningful final weekend game was Harvard beating Princeton (securing the title for Yale), not Harvard beating Penn (for 4th place at 6-8). Would be reversed this year.
Without a tournament, the HYP competition would have been fierce this year. Not as much now. Ticket sales for Harvard at Princeton the final weekend look to be weak. Somewhat understandable considering the possibility that they could face each other again the following weekend at the Palestra.
If all 8 teams participated in the tournament, there would be no real competition as no one would be facing elimination.
