In response to HARVARDDADGRAD
It would be nice indeed if an IL team has a breakout season as the league could use a shot in the arm -- Yale is a possibility this year and Harvard next year as you suggest. Although very early in the season, IL teams continue to lose to top 100 teams like prior years. Several of the games are close but being close at the end of the day does not count.
The game against Memphis was emblematic as to what happens time and time again, year and year again. The better IL teams play competitively but just do not close games out. Maybe Yale or some other team wins a few of these games in the near future but the chain has not yet been broken.
We keep hearing that there will be a break through and I do believe that the league is getting better but expectations seem to outrun reality, won/loss records against quality competition. It always seems that the other team hits their shots when it counts or IL teams turn the ball over. IL teams have injuries yet quality opponents overcome injuries.
Hopefully, brighter days are truly ahead of us.
