In response to Columbia 37P6
I'm not sure you want to use your women's team as the standard. Some good players aside, the last Ivy title they won was . . . never.
In the 35 years the League has been competing in women's hoops, Columbia is the only team to have never won. But like men's ball, the League is highly unbalanced. Yale has only won 1 title (in 1979). Cornell tied for its 1 title in 2007 and Penn has won only twice (2001, 2004). Next comes Brown (3 outright, 3 tied), Princeton (5 outright, 3 tied), Harvard (5 outright, 6 tied) and Dartmouth (10 outright, 7 tied).
So the questions you could ask might be why is that the Columbia men's team can recruit better players than Dartmouth but the women's team can't? And what is different about the recruiting of women's players that Dartmouth can field the best team in League history on the women's side and the worst team in league history on the men's?
