Subject: Re: Make college bb respect Ivy’s Author: Ivy Rules [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:43:04 03/22/24 Fri In reply to: Ghost 's message, "Re: Make college bb respect Ivy’s" on 20:01:59 03/22/24 Fri Might I suggest, respectfully, that you make like a "Ghost" and disappear from this forum? Perhaps you should troll on the SEC forum and point out why they should not been an 8 bid league. Way to go Yale! Ivy has now won 75% of its tournament games over the past two years. Perhaps our Ghostly visitor can research and let us know how many conferences have done better. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

This is an Ivy forum, and we're talking Ivy sports. 4 at large bids to non-FBS schools but you think Princeton deserved one, despite not even making the league final.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Make college bb respect Ivy’s Author: Ivy Rules [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:34:08 03/23/24 Sat Time's up, Mr. Ghost, so I did some quick research myself. The Ivy's 75% winning percentage in '23 and '24 falls just below the Big East (78%). No other conference is even close to those 2, with almost all of the others (all but the ACC) falling at or below 50%. I realize that the sample size makes this a bit 'apples to oranges', at least with respect to the IL, but it certainly demonstrates that the two (non-BCS football) conferences with the best records to this point have both been grossly disrespected by the NCAA selection committee and their performance has validated that reality. As to your continuing diss of PU since they did not make the finals of the ILT, fair point, but take a look at the top 4 seeds in the tournament and note how many failed to make or win the finals of their conference tournaments. It's a big number. Last year, Yale didn't win the ILT, but as Coach Jones, whom you correctly note is a tremendous and egregiously under appreciated coach, stated in interviews today, the Eli last year could absolutely have won a couple of games. That they had no shot to prove that last year was a shame. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Still, major props to Yale for beating Auburn, they got exposed last night. So, the case for Princeton as an at large gets weaker. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
