St. Mary's is a very good experienced team playing close to home. After watching some of the game, it strikes me that Harvard has the most talented team in the Ivies but they are currently playing 3 on 5 basketball like the Tigers although they have slightly better players 3 on 3 and overall a more talented squad. What is the team chemistry -- who knows?

They should be getting their act together as the season goes along as they are still very young. Will they reach the hype of #10 ESPN recruiting class probably not but they will get better over time.

The fear that the 2016-17 Crimson freshmen were simply going to run the table to four IL championships based on their 3 and 4 star high school ratings was unfounded and the IL Tournament may well be a neutralizer for their remaining 3 years. It would not be surprising if Yale would have won the IL crown this year like the Tigers last year if not for injuries but we will never know.

The one good thing is that when the Ivies play the Ivies this year, one team will get a win. Unfortunately, the RPI of many IL teams may not be very good if non-conference results continue on. Hopefully, Mitch and the boys will come up with the winning formula in league play but the Crimson will be a challenge.
