In response to palestra38
Harvard has lost two Ivy Player of the Year-caliber players in Towns and Aiken the last two years. Yale lost one in Mason last year. Absent those injuries, you guys probably would have been a nice third place team then. Instead, pretty much everything went your way, including getting unearned home court advantage.
Let me put it this way: if AJ had missed most of last year, Betley got hurt in the Ivy League final being hosted in Cambridge, and we'd only beaten you by 3 points, I wouldn't think my program was "back". I would think we'd gotten lucky. Which is what we're seeing this year. A team with one very good player coming back down to Earth because the rest of the roster just isn't that good.
Also, I think the statute of limitations on bragging about beating a wildly inconsistent Villanova team is coming up. Especially when Penn hasn't beaten *any* of the top three teams in the Ivies. Seriously, when was your last good win? December?
