[> Subject: Don’t celebrate just yet Author: Ivy Inquisitor [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:33:30 02/22/25 Sat To be undefeated in conference play this late into the season a significant accomplishment. However, nothing is guaranteed for The Bulldogs Men BB not even a NIT bid. Regular season conference title to me feels like a provisional championship. It’s the conference tournament that defines a team’s season. When the “Ivy Madness” Tournament was instituted, the league home office said the regular season winner is the official Ivy Champion. Then why must the regular season “champion” have the same pathway of gaining entrance to the NCAA Tournament as second-fourth seed teams? Where is their reward for a good regular season? Last year 4th seed Brown(13-18) fell one basket short of gaining the NCAA spot. I personally love conference tournaments and seeing a losing team come out of nowhere to get a NCAA Tournament spot but they should not have a same obstacle as the top seed. Other conferences have fist round byes for top teams, why not the Ivy? My suggestion for ILT Quarterfinal: #3 vs.#4 Semifinal:QF vs. #2 Final: SF vs. #1 With that said in a few weeks I look forward to seeing an Ivy MBB team making some noise in March Madness, Just as HYP has regularly done so over the past ten years. On the women’s side Harvard , Columbia and Columbia look very strong. Ivy WBB deserves at least two bids into the NCAA Tournament. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Yassine Gharram Author: Son of Eli [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:07:18 02/22/25 Sat In case anyone was wondering why he’s no longer on the team. I thought it was because he was injured. They seem to be better without him as it has resulted in more playing time for Simmons, the extremely athletic 4 Star transfer from Northwestern. https://ivyhoopsonline.com/2024/12/08/yale-mens-basketball-vanquishes-vermont-without-yassine-gharram/ [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It gave opportunities to other players. Who put the team first. Everyone thought with Wolf gone, would be Yale’s demise. Bye bye Primadonna.. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: And Bez was just named Ivy Player of the Week! Author: Tiger69 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:49:07 02/25/25 Tue It is an accident waiting to happen that a superlative team like the Elis this season will trip up in the ILT and be deprived of the League’s single invite to the NCAAs. I guess there’s a good reason we call it March MADNESS.😟. I’m torn between rooting FOR Yale to win what it justly deserves or AGAINST them to highlight the inequity of the stakes of 2 game outing vs. a 14 game season. I know, I know, you’ve heard this all before. It still stinks. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: And Bez was just named Ivy Player of the Week! Author: remember it well [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:30:17 02/26/25 Wed Tiger 69 has raised the concern which is certainly worrisome and on the minds of Yale BB fans. What a shame it would be if Yale's only loss is in the Ivy tournament which would deprive this championship team from going to March Madness which is what happened to Princeton last year. If Yale has an undefeated regular season, an Ivy tournament loss would really sting. The league needs to find a way to avoid diminishing the importance of a league championship and the risk of causing a major disappointment to the players who strive to get that Ivy trophy but miss out on the NCAA tournament.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Yale has influence, they should go use it Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:43:20 02/27/25 Thu If Yale wants to make a rule that if the regular season champ has a 4-game lead (or more) than the second-place team, then the ILT is cancelled and the regular season champ goes to the NCAA tournament, then they are free to throw their weight around to make it happen. Indeed, many of us suspect that the ILT was created because Yale got completely frozen out of post-season play back in 2015. https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2015/03/17/mens-basketball-bulldogs-shut-out-of-postseason/ And Ivy League football implemented instant replay after Yale got hosed on an incorrect call in 2017. https://www.nhregister.com/colleges/article/Is-it-time-for-Ivy-League-to-add-instant-replay-12267975.php https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2019/01/24/mister-expand-ivy-league-replay/ [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
