Hard to believe that Princeton was the game in a three-game home stretch that we win.
I didn't see the game, but looking at the stats, it appears that we got hot in the second half to take a 15 point lead, and then held on by making free throws down the stretch.
I think that winning three of the next four should be enough to get to the tournament. Winning only two will require some help...

In response to Go Green
I really go back and forth between despondency and contemplating buying tickets to Ivy Madness at Jadwin.
My hunch--after an entire lifetime of annual disappointment--is that the four conference tournament spots go to Princeton, Penn, Yale, and Cornell. Dartmouth has the Cornell-Columbia back-to-back road trip remaining, and then has to beat Penn in Philadelphia. They also have to finish with a better record than Brown, because I imagine that if they're fourth with identical records, the tiebreaker would favor the team that won both regular season match-ups...
Still, it's nice to have hope with only four games left. I'll keep the Ivy Madness tab open my browser.

It's too bad that we're actually 3-2 against the top three teams in the league, and 2-0 against the two teams at the bottom, but went 0-4 against the two teams--Cornell and Brown--we need to get in front of for that fourth spot. We needed that Cornell win badly, and we just couldn't get it done in OT. Sigh.
