In response to Tiger69

Of course there are far better metrics, but Harvard on back to back nights played even with both Penn and Princeton on the road before losing on a shot in the final seconds. Could one argue that the difference was home court advantage.

Shift home court advantage, having Princeton visit Penn the following weekend. Make the Princeton kids endure a week of classes and exams while Penn players enjoy a week off (spring break).

Think the League isn't concerned? Robin Harris was interviewed during the Harvard/Princeton game and volunteered that it was a priority of the league to try and remove the home court advantage claiming that even the Palestra court will look different. Even the league is getting a bit defensive about have the 14-0 league champ open up on the road against the 6-8 4th seed. Watch those otherwise languishing ticket sales explode as Penn fans snatch them up.
