In response to 1LotteryPick1969
Don't know if the results thus far prove much:
Penn (5-0): all at home, all by single digits, no key injuries throughout. Outperformed abysmal season FT shooting to win last two games - trend or good luck?
Princeton (3-2): playing the best of all Ivy squads over the past 60 days; about to host its 5th game out of 6 with a chance to avenge the loss to Penn;
Harvard (5-1): looking good considering the Crimson have played 5 of 6 on the road, for the most part without Aiken and Baker; Aiken likely out for the foreseeable future, putting enormous pressure on Juzang and Haskett; Harvard fortunate that good start will allow for Bryce to rest and recover;
Brown (3-3): really impressive offense; had they made free throws at Penn would have swept P's on the road; playing this Brown team is scary; can one win the league with weak defense? More likely the tournament.
Columbia (3-3): already played at P's; looked good against Harvard but almost lost to Dartmouth at home;
Yale (2-4): no Mason sighting yet; finished with the trip to the P's;
Cornell (2-4): two man show, but those two (Morgan and Gettings) sure can score;
Dartmouth (0-6): gutsy and resilient, even without Chris Knight this past weekend; oh where they could be with a full roster
Coming Up:
Penn at Princeton: not my rivalry, but doubt Penn will need to score 95 or Princeton 100+ to win this game. Back to Ivy ball
P's at Harvard/Dartmouth: Harvard seems to have given itself the breathing room it needs regardless of what happens this coming weekend; would be huge if Crimson can split or sweep at home though. Can Dartmouth slow the P's march to the tournament? Unlikely.
C's at Yale/Brown: Big games for the 4th spot. Does Mason return? Brown's momentum could lift it to 5-3 which would be huge. Columbia wins at Yale/Brown would make a statement.
Buckle your seatbelts.
