If the Tournament does nothing else, it helps permit coaches to exhibit perspective in choosing not to burn out their players and/or risk injury.

Unless you are competing for 4th place late in the season, no reason now to rush someone back. Duke's delay in reinserting Zion Williamson seems to reflect that concept as Duke lost the regular season title but won their tournament.

On the other hand, Tommy Amaker clearly utilized Justin Bassey in a way that likely won the Ivy regular season title. Possible that he was focused on winning the regular season at the risk of losing Justin for the tournament.

  • Chet Forte Said:
Richmond had some nice things to say about Tape after the last game. Lewis has either peaked or regressed. Aiken was actually my choice for POY this year. He was the difference in both of our games. Stephens should have been DPOY. As far as Mike Smith, he should not be asked to play 38-40 minutes; hopefully our incoming PG, Turner, will be ready to give us 12 minutes a game.



Harvard posters here believe Lewis’s decline this year was due to injury.

Cambridge is apparently transferring from Brown. This somewhat inexplicable decision means that both Brown and Cornell will be worse next year, leaving either 6 teams fighting for four tournament positions, or if you are kindly disposed to Harvard and Penn, four teams fighting for two.

Yeah... was waiting for that news to break. From what I heard he won’t play in the CBI either...

In watching the Brown games this year I had a funny feeling that Cambridge seemed somewhat disengaged. I also thought that Choh was by far the better player.

As far as match-ups, and next year, I thought that our worst match-ups were with Princeton. For some reason, our other matchups seemed much better for us. Maybe it was the Mitch Stephens factor—to me Stephens should have been the DPOY.

The thing with Yale is that they have the guys to step in and start. The question is whether they can replace the depth that moves into the starting lineup. More Atkinson and Swain should be no drop off at all. It could actually be better.

Even if Turner isn’t ready, I think Engles will be comfortable sliding Stefanini over when Smith is off the floor.

PS, in our two games with Brown this year did anybody else think that Cambridge didn’t seem to be the same player that he was a year ago?

Cambridge was having a really good season prior to league play and was putting up "all-Ivy" type numbers. There were shooting woes throughout league play, including the first Columbia game, which Brown won. In their loss to Columbia at home, he had a "Cambridge-like" 8 for 20, 25 point performance. Despite his shooting challenges, he played with passion on both ends and created openings for others on offense due to the attention he received.
