In response to SomeGuy
Yale has been very impressive thru the first four games of the season especially playing a talented SMU team on their home court. Mason is a really good player with great heart and determination. They have a very balanced starting five with different skill sets and senior leadership. They play very good defense. Yesterday, they seemed to run out of gas after getting a 10pt lead and I agree that their bench is average at best.
Thinking back to last year, they gave Harvard with Saunders and Chambers a tremendous battle. If Sherrod had not taken off a year, they would have been even more formidable. Yale does appear to be the best team in the Ivy League although Columbia should give them a battle and possibly, Princeton although injuries are always a wild card.
It would be nice one of these days that the Ivy teams start winning tough out of conference games more consistently. Harvard with Saunders and Chambers had some recent success as well as Cornell several years ago but good Ivy teams most often fall just short against good competition. Time for some Ivy team to step up out of conference. Yale has Duke coming up, Princeton has Maryland, etc.
