Now that the Ivy League has firmly established itself as a one team league, and there is little doubt on how it is going to end, can anyone on this board answer this question? Are there any compelling reasons to watch the rest of the season?

As a Cleveland fan and a fan of the team that experienced Black Tuesday, you should know the answer to that question.

You watch for the same reason that I watched every game the Eagles played this year or why I ever watch a Phillies game. You watch because you are a fan of your particular team and that is what fans do. Of course it is more interesting if there is an epic battle, a really level playing field, or your team is the front runner, but there is not much us the fans can do about the uneven field right now. Would I prefer if the other 7 teams were better? Yes, of course. I thought the 01/02 season was a lot of fun to watch, but it also probably caused my heart irreparable damage.

Because Ibby does something to take your breath away several times every game.
Because it's great seeing Zoller play the way we all know he can.
Because it's great seeing Danley play more aggressive down low.
Because it's great seeing the team improve its FT shooting.
Because you want to see Whitehurst and Oz find their shots.
Because you love the Quakers, and you'd hate to miss something memorable and feel like I do every time people talk about what happened 20 years ago.

Let us be mathematically eliminated before counting us out.

What would the Pick 4 odds have been for Columbia, Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown tonight?

Thanks for giving me a reason. Train wrecks are far more interesting then highlight reels.

Brian, Pomeroy's estimated chances of victory tonight were:
Brown 11%, Columbia 10%, Dartmouth 40% and Princeton 27%.
The chance of all these happening would be about 0.12%, slightly more than one in a thousand. Is there a full moon tonight?
