Is the Ivy League underappreciated? For the second straight year, the Ivy League champions took down a Power 5 champion in the Round of 64. After Princeton's run to the Sweet 16 as a No. 15 seed last year and, now, Yale's takedown of Auburn, is it worth considering the possibility that the Ivy League doesn't have to be a one-bid league? This Yale team finished in a second-place tie during the regular season behind Princeton, which likely didn't receive much at-large consideration despite losing just three regular season games (and was a No. 2 seed in the NIT before losing to UNLV). Nothing about Yale's win or Princeton's two last year felt fluky in the moment. Perhaps it's just a blip of overachievement, but it shouldn't be a surprise if the academic giants keep finding success in March.
