I thought that the two IL games on Saturday and the prior game at Jadwin speaks loudly as to what makes the IL regular season games so special. The defensive intensity at Jadwin and the Palestra made it very difficult for players to get off good shots. Goodman on Cannady and Arirguzoh on Brodeur were clinics as to what good defense can accomplish.
After last season, Mitch and the seniors stated that defense was going to be the #1 priority this year. It took a while to get there but Mitch has recruited players in recent years who are more athletic and can move this feet quickly.
After the grueling hard fought regular season, the end result is seed 1-4 at Yale's homecourt. Nothing will change IvyMadness as it is here to stay. It would be nice if at least the hope of two teams going to the Big Dance is realized.
