[quote= Oh and yea all the IL experts are now saying Yale isn’t dominant. After there was no chance they make tourney 2 mos ago. Then they should have an at large bid and run through the league.
The quant nerds either don’t watch the games or don’t get nuance. Yale was and is a flawed team as is every IL team at the top.
I remember your comments to suggest that the coronation of Yale as IL champs was not in touch with reality and obviously premature. Any team that loses Oni, Copeland, Reynolds and Phils will not be the same team unless some brilliant freshmen walked thru the door. Yale has 3 very good players and a good scorer off the bench with an outstanding coach but there are holes as you suggest and clearly a lack of depth.
For Yale to be where they are says a lot about Coach Jones but the suggestion that Yale would be a dominant team in the IL seemed like a huge stretch. If they are, it might say more about the league vs. Yale.
Who wins the regular season is an unknown as there is no dominant team. Perhaps, a team with a few good seniors may have the edge plus avoiding injuries. It would be ironic if Brown pulls off a miracle and somehow wins the regular season and then gets knocked out in IvyMadness - the irony.
Even with Bruner's injury, Coach Jones will keep them in the hunt.
