I agree that it is less likely that Princeton would lose than Lehigh or Bucknell to Holy Cross last year. If it did happen, the loss would be more damaging to the IL vs. Patriot League reputation for exactly the reasons that you have stated if the number #4 seed wins.

The most recent odds to win the IL Tournament are: Princeton 50%, Harvard 22%, Yale 17%, whomever 11%.




This implies the IL has some lofty reputation that could be damaged. That's a fallacy. No one in the NCAA expects anything from an Ivy League team so you can't have much of a reputation than none. People think that Baylor sucked last year and Cincinnati and New Mexico before that. Until we are consistently beating people in the first couple rounds our reputation in the NCAA is secure.
