I know it's only one game (per team), but the performance of the freshmen/new(er) players is noteworthy across the league:
Brown - Daugherty 8 pts; Ju. Massey (6 pts, so. transfer)
Columbia: Davis - 19 pts (leading scorer)
Cornell: Morgan - 20 pts (leading scorer); Gettings - 14 pts
Dartmouth: Boudreaux - 25 pts (leading scorer)
Harvard: McCarthy - 12 pts (leading scorer); Johnson - 9 pts.
Penn: Silpe - 4 assists (starting pg, ltd by fouls)
Princeton: Cannaday - 17 pts (leading scorer)
Yale: Sherrod - 20 pts, 7 rbs (year off); Mason - 23 pts (so)
Freshmen were the leading scorers in 5 of 8 games! Statistically and practically, that's amazing.
Evidence the tide is rising? Or just opening day blowouts?

In response to HARVARDDADGRAD
Not a bad start by the Ivy teams for the first day of non-conference play and freshmen certainly contributed. The more wins for the League the better for non-conference play and ultimate seeding at the Big Dance. Based on watching parts of several games, Yale appeared to be the strongest team based on their defensive intensity and skills with the contributions of Sherrod and Mason -- they are not a one man team.
Columbia played such a weak team -- who knows -- but they were not overly impressive during the first half. Princeton and Harvard are part of the mix as well but too early to know for sure.
Will anyone emerge from Dartmouth, Brown, Penn and Cornell --- maybe Dartmouth?
It should be competitive and interesting.
