Softball plays doubleheaders. Basketball does not. :-)

Don't pitch that idea to the 1999 Princeton men's team, although Penn might go for it.

In the 2016 NCAA tournament second round, Yale cut a 27 point Duke first half lead down to 3 in the last minute before losing. Maybe if that had been a 27 point lead with 10 minutes left in the game, a mercy rule would have been warranted. But not a first half lead.

Two years ago, Yale came back from down 21 against Princeton. The Tigers then came back from down 19 against Penn. Just a couple weeks ago, Princeton came back from down 20 against Columbia.

Can you imagine the noise inside John J. Lee or Jadwin as we approached the 25-point trigger? That's what I call excitement.
