In response to SRP

I have a different perspective. Coach H should try his very best to have the Tigers go 14-0. There can be a risk as to injury and fatigue but it would be worth it. Few IL teams have achieved undefeated status and the players will remember what they achieved along with the League Championship banner for the rest of their lives. Play to win!!

If they go 16-0 vs. 14-0, very challenging, so much the better but that requires that they win six more games in a row with some tough competition. If they do not get to the NCAA Tournament, it will be very disappointing but there is probably a 50% chance that it will happen although Vegas will be able to handicap the odds at the end of the season. Bummer for Weisz and Cook.

The simple solution to all the madness was to have the IL Champion get an automatic bid and another Ivy team get a second bid if they cracked the top 50 but that would be a function of earning the bids the tough way.

Let's first be the Ivy League Champions before all of the other stuff. Columbia will be beyond desperate.
