In response to Mike Porter
Harvard beat us 2X and finished as a co-champion, we snuck into 4th.
Hold on, Harvard pulled out a miraculous OT win in one of those. Second, we are entering the tournament on a three game winning streak - all of which were elimination games that simulate the dynamics of a tournament. One of those was a blowout of top seeded Yale who was battling for the title. That is not exactly sneaking in like it would have been if there was a 3-way tie at 6-8, which was a possibility. Finally, Harvard just lost to Cornell in a game where it was also battling for the title and finished the year with yet another OT victory over the seventh place team who barely missed a game winner at the buzzer. When you consider our OOC record, this may be a bit surprising, but not a shock.
