Interesting article and says it all as to how the IL women are getting recognition, nationally. Yale is a good team as they have a very good big plus a tough PG and very good 3 pt shooters. The Tigers game at New Haven may be their biggest challenge.
Even though the Tigers have not played in a while, they are #26 in AP and #27 Coaches Poll and very close to getting into the top 25 now that they are back in action this weekend on the road at Dartmouth and Harvard. The game against Harvard should be somewhat challenging.They will have a significant size and talent advantage against Dartmouth but you never know.
Reality is that the Tigers need to win every game in the Il regular season if they are going to get a #6 seed or possibly a #5 seed. They probably also need to win games in convincing fashion -- double digit wins to capture the attention of voters. If they have a 13-1 or 14-0 IL regular season, IvyMadness may not cause a major disruption in seeding if they do not win the wacky tournament.
Hopefully, the rust from the layoff does not cause a disruption this weekend -- I suspect not but time will tell.
