Cornell taking a 9 point lead into halftime against Brown up in Ithaca. Big Red couldn't finish it out last night but Coach Earl can do the Tigers a huge favor odds wise by knocking off the Bears tonight

Schwieger back in the lineup tonight, hopefully as close to 100% as possible. Back to the usual starters

Offense comes out humming, including a 3 from Schwieger and a great tip play to get a layup 3 seconds into the game. Also notable that the first half court play on offense tonight was again a Llewellyn post up on the opposing PG. Tigers have started 3 consecutive games with that play, and he's scored on every one of them
Knight's hit 2 tough mid range shots at the shot clock buzzer, but Tigers take a 12-6 lead into the U16

Tigers are in a zone right now, opening up a 31-14 lead with 7 to play in Hanover. Langborg having a great run right now with some great defense and hit a deeeep 3. Friberg has 10
Defensive intensity has been great

Dartmouth end the half on a 10-2 run to close the lead from 17 to 9 at halftime. Tigers take a 33-24 lead to the locker room.
Great start to the half, not great finish but still in good shape. Looks like the Big Red should knock off Brown up in Ithaca as they lead by 20 with 4 to play, which is a good result for Princeton for sure

Just went final in Ithaca, Cornell knocks of Brown 63-45, holding Brown to just 0.75 PPP. Really impressive weekend for Earl and Co.

Llewellyn continues his excellent weekend, he's 3/4 from 3 tonight and has 13 overall. 47-35 Tiger lead at the U12 media, but RA has 3 fouls and the Tigers are struggling to guard Chris Knight without him.
Wonder if we'll get a Kellman or Barnes sighting to bring some size into the game

Knight really starting to kill the Tigers as Aririguzoh picks up foul #4 with 8 minutes still to play. 50-42 Tigers after another Llewellyn 3

Tigers looking pretty ugly on both ends without Aririguzoh on the court and the lead is down to 53-50 with 5:38 to play

Some much needed 3s from JL and Schwieger bring it back to a 61-54 lead with 3 to play. Surprised Dartmouth hasn't posted up Knight on RA, who is playing with 4 fouls

Defense really struggling right now as Dartmouth is getting a ton of layups. 63-60 Tigers with 53 seconds left, both RA and Knight have 4 fouls and one on either of them could decide the game

Welp, just about as ugly as it can get but the Tigers get a much needed win, complete with a 5 second violation and an airballed FT, but the win is all that matters. Tigers escape 65-62, JL finishes with 21 tonight. Could be a contender for Player of the Week this week with 22 last night as well

"Escape" seems to be the magic word for everyone, every weekend, this season.

Tigers played very well thru first 15 minutes with 31-14 on the road. Knight had 8 of the 14 points but only 2 pts against Arirguzoh. They then hit the snooze button. Fortunate that they won. Most enjoyable part of the game was listening to the Dartmouth broadcaster pronounce Richmond and Ryan's last names -- classic.
I doubt if I understand the tie breaker rules but I guess that the Tigers have the first tiebreaker with Penn in addition to a 2 game lead but as we know anything can happen with the wackiness of IvyMadness.
Jaelin had a very good weekend. Ryan needs to get healthy. Brown is probably the most important game left. B. Earl can simply coach.

The first tiebreaker is head-to-head record, so Princeton will always win a tie with Penn. Princeton's magic number to clinch an IL tourney spot is therefore 2 (some combo of Princeton wins and Penn losses). Since Princeton closes the year with Columbia and Cornell at home, the prognosis seems good for that.

According to Mike James, based on Penn & Brown losing, we now have >99% chance of making the tournament.
I of course would still like to win the regular season, but it seems unlikely.
Also, it seems most likely we will meet Harvard in the first game of the tournament, unless we fade badly and make the tournament as a 4 seed.
Wow. Harvard redux redux.

This Tiger team has shown remarkable resiliency after a somewhat disastrous non-conference play, last weekend's blowout at home to Yale, and the heartbreaking loss to Harvard on Friday night. The early season back to back wins against Penn along with the wins against Brown and Dartmouth demonstrates that they are mentally tough and Mitch/coaching staff deserves credit. Remarkably, they still have an opportunity to tie for the regular season crown but they will have to play their best basketball over the remaining two weeks.
The IL regular season crown is challenging to win especially in this crazy year. Yale followed by Harvard are probably the two best teams but anything can still happen. The IL men remain a one bid league and to decide who represents the league at March Madness based on a weekend at Lavietes vs. the regular season is simply bizarre but it is what it is.
I also prefer that the Tigers somehow win or tie for the regular season crown vs. getting into the Big Dance the alternative way. Someone back when suggested that there really is little difference between the quality of a team that wins the regular season crown vs. winning a weekend tournament. That may be true, particularly this year, but there really is a big difference as to who deserves to represent the league.
