I live near a PL school. The banners in the gym do not recognize regular season titles if the team did not go onto win the conference tournament.

That’s every school’s prerogative not to hang banners. For most of the seven-decade history of the Ivy League, the only basketball gym which hung any banners at all was The Palestra. Princeton famously or quirkily did not have any commemoration of its many championships while Carril was coaching because he didn’t want them.

Now most Ivy facilities in most sports display the championships won by the host team, both regular season and tournament. Did you notice the 1968 and 2023 banners at Levien Gym during the 2024 basketball tournaments?

Dartmouth's had the men's Ivy championship banners (1950s) and women's banners (1980s and early 1990s) when I enrolled (1989).

No idea when we put them up--possibly when Leede was built?

I never saw a game at Alumni Gym. But from what I remember, there's no obvious place to hang banners. So I'm more than willing to accept that we didn't have any banners prior to Leede.

Author: joiseyfan [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 11:08:15 05/07/24 Tue No banners at Alumni Gym. For a long time, not much heat in the dead of winter either — the (lack of) temperature was a big home-court advantage. A shame the Rudy LaRusso years weren’t recognized in some fashion.
