In response to Tiger81
Yale's game against Columbia next weekend is in NYC not New Haven which is a good thing for the Tigers. Yale just has too much strength with Sears and Sherrod and Columbia has little interior defensive skills. Caruso, Cook and others could literally drove to the basket at will last evening. Columbia has very good offensive skills but based on the stats, Yale plays better defense than any Ivy League team.
Whether one looks at stats, RPI rankings etc., Yale and Princeton are clearly one cut above Columbia. The one plus that you point out is that it will be Lo and Company last game at home. It would not be the least bit surprising that the Tigers need to win out and beat Yale in a playoff -- no slam dunk at all.
Once again, Miller wins the tip. In the Tiger's 5 losses, Miller lost the tip each game. In all other games, other 3 or 4 games, he won the opening tip and the Tigers won ---- he is a good luck charm. So, if he wins the tip against Sears in a playoff game (no easy task), we are going to the tournament.
