  • SRP Said:
One for two, but I'd bet the Administration would gladly exchange their hockey and lacrosse successes for similar success in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Does anyone doubt that?


I do.

Each school has different priorities, for example Johns Hopkins has had good (NC level) results in several sports (ironically including soccer with a young Bill Tierney as novice coach in the fall), but they would gladly trade it for lacrosse excellence.

I would not be surprised if Denver cared more about hockey than basketball, especially when you look at their historical results in each. Now, times change, but does their alumni base care about basketball?

CBS SPORTS has put out the best 30 players at all 5 positions for the draft and there were NO Ivy League players listed --- i.e. Sears, Lo, etc. There were some mid-conference players on the list including Warney (Stony Brook), English (Iona), etc. It will be good to see an Ivy League player get drafted over the next few years --- Who is the question? Mason will be a very good player but his height and athleticism will work against him. Time will tell.
