Subject: Re: ILT WBB Final - Princeton 75 Columbia 58 Author: The Mountain Lion [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:22:18 03/17/24 Sun In reply to: Tiger81 's message, "ILT WBB Final - Princeton 75 Columbia 58" on 22:18:06 03/16/24 Sat I agree with everyone's comments while noting also that the ESPN announcer for Princeton's game with Penn had it right when he said at the start of the game that Princeton was less motivated than Penn because it knew that it was going to receive an NCAA Bid regardless whether it defeated Penn. Princeton eventually did enough to defeat a good Penn team, but Columbia had to expend much more energy than Princeton to defeat an excellent Harvard Team. As before, the question remains whether any knowledgable fan on this Board really believes that the eight Ivy League Athletic Directors actually understand how the NET works and, in particular, that was going to be used to determine Ivy League Tournament seedings in the event of a tie. The odds against all eight AD's knowing that are probably at least a thousand to one. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Although some ivy teams may be trying to schedule easier to build confidence. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
