Speaking of "funny," it's funny how different people can look at this glass half-full/half-empty situation and conclude that Princeton validated the decision not to invite the Tigers, but Columbia validated the decision to invite the Lions.

Yesterday was not a good day for the Ivy League.

None of Cornell, Princeton or Columbia were embarrassed, nor do any of them have anything to apologize for.

But if we're talking about validating decisions, getting the respect we "deserve," and "growing the game," that means winning. And we did not.

No disrespect to the Red, Tigers or Lions, but you asked to be judged on the same criteria applied to the big name schools and that's how we're going to judge you.

I would guess a large majority of college bb fans anticipated easy victories over IL squads. (Well perhaps not P game based on last year). So, in my book, well played tight games do indeed help the overall IL brand

The real negative is these 3 games will further support the continued embargo by power conferences on scheduling IL teams

Not sure who it was who said Princeton deserved the NCAA bid over Duquesne because they beat them in November, but........
teams really can change in three months.
